As a small family-run business, it has always been important that Young Soles is run as a sustainable business – one that operates in a sustainable way – what is it doing to ensure that it has a positive impact guaranteeing its long-term existence and not just a short-term profit.

As a global business, Young Soles ensures that it is having a positive impact on its environment (people, partners, and the world), from internal working practices to sourcing sustainable and ethical materials.

Young Soles have always made shoes from locally sourced leather that are a by-product of food production and use many of the same leathers across the collection to avoid excess ordering and waste. The leathers are also Leather Working Group certified.

Young Soles soles are from locally sourced manufacturers using recycled materials where possible, and the signature suitcase shoe boxes have always been made from recycled cardboard.

Young Soles have always tested products to ensure they are better than REACH standards and do not contain any hidden chemicals, and that the factories Young Soles works with have the highest business practices and production procedures.

Young Soles is the only UK children's footwear brand that makes its footwear in Europe.

This is just how Young Soles have always done business, we just haven’t shouted about it!
