OUTDOOR
PROJECTS.
YOUR WAY.

From light walking shoes to technical hiking boots, we help brands develop outdoor footwear around terrain, outsole, materials and comfort, from first brief to sampling.

DISCUSS AN OUTDOOR PROJECT

PROJECT SCOPE

LIGHT HIKING & WALKING

Balance comfort, weight and durability for light trail walking, with a fit and outsole pattern chosen for your intended routes.

TECHNICAL HIKING

Review ankle height, upper construction and outsole lug depth for rougher routes, then evaluate samples against your own criteria.

TERRAIN & WEATHER

Start from where the shoe will be used. Terrain and weather exposure guide material and outsole choices.

DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT

UNDERSTAND YOUR PROJECT

Align the intended terrain, grip requirements, user, market, price position, quantities and timeline before design work begins.

DESIGN, DEVELOP & SAMPLE

Discuss lasts and outsole development, review uppers and components, then coordinate samples and agreed revisions.

COORDINATE THE NEXT STAGE

Confirm approved samples, then coordinate production with partner manufacturers, with outsole and upper inspection.

WHAT ARE YOU DEVELOPING?

Tell us the intended terrain, target user, price position and any reference models.
