Where intention begins
Material Integrity
We source premium leathers from Leather Working Group certified tanneries and continuously develop innovative vegan alternatives.
From GOTS certified organic cotton to recycled fibers and bio based materials such as cactus and apple, every component is chosen for durability, comfort, and reduced environmental impact.
Quality first. Responsibility always.
Engineered for Everyday Wear
Built to Endure
In an industry driven by speed, we focus on construction.
Comfort, precision, and high manufacturing standards remain at the core of our philosophy. Our shoes are designed to move with you, age with character, and maintain their structure over time.
Less excess. More intention.
Less is more & quality is everything
CLAE All Day
CLAE is also the idea of a community full of vitality committed to ecological issues, which resonates with our partners, such as ISA TanTec, the leader in sustainable leather innovations. This year, we continue collaborating to move forward and offer materials that make sense.
Thus, the name CLAE was born from the word “clay”, the same raw material that is molded by movement and perception.
