ALL EARS is the it-product that designer Minna Parikka is known and loved for. Now, these iconic bunnies are back – this time in a more responsible skin. 

ALL EARS are made with chrome-free leather and as many plastics as possible have been replaced with more natural or recycled components. We also only use natural rubber soles to avoid micro plastics with every step.  

We want to be open and transparent about how our shoes are made so that you know what you’re stepping into when you wear them. That’s why we’ve listed all the components that go into each pair of ALL EARS. We know it’s not perfect, but it’s way more than most.

Details

You might be wondering why our shoes need to have any plastics and chemicals at all. It’s because the shoe industry has yet to come up with better alternatives to create comfortable, luxurious and long-lasting products in a way that’s free of any components that are harmful to nature. It’s a constant balance between ecological choices and shoes that are durable and desirable.

Some bad choices are unavoidable. For example, using a strong glue is the only way to hold shoes together and to ensure that the sole sticks to the upper. At the same time, it’s better for the environment to make shoes that can stand the test of time and use when loved and cared for properly. We’re always on the lookout for new and better materials and processes that meet our high standards, aesthetic goals and price point.

Sizing

To keep your feet healthy and happy, it’s important to wear shoes that fit and feel right. Never wear shoes that are too small. Extra insoles are a good way to adjust the size and fit of your shoes.

All Ears run 1/2 size large. If in-between sizes please choose on size down.
