Overview

Tagline

Responsibly Made. Radically Different.
Indosole is a California-based footwear brand founded in 2009 by Kyle Parsons, who is from the United States. A stay in Bali in 2004 prompted him to begin developing sandals made from reused waste tires. Drawing on Balinese craftsmanship and California outdoor culture, the brand offers sandals and shoes made with recycled tires. Its proprietary SETT technology converts waste tires into sole material. With waste reduction and responsible production at its core, Indosole offers products for travel, adventure, and everyday life internationally. The brand received B Corp certification in 2014.

Concept

We believe sustainability isn't just about saving the planet—it's about enhancing human health and happiness.
