OUR STORY
SORBAS was founded in Berlin-Neukölln in 2015 with the idea of creating comfortable, well-made shoes with a clean, understated design. We are still a small team today and work directly with small footwear manufacturers in Portugal and Greece. SORBAS stands for clean design, a touch of minimalism and production in small workshops away from mass manufacturing. Our shoes should not only look good, but also feel good to wear. That is why we focus on fit, suitable materials and careful workmanship. We make shoes for everyday life, for being on the move, and for everything in between.

PRODUCTION
IN EUROPE
Our shoes are made in Portugal and Greece in small, independent production workshops. We work directly with our production partners and rely on experience, established shoemaking techniques and careful workmanship. Many production steps take place directly in the respective workshops – from cutting the materials to completing the finished shoe. Producing in Europe allows us to stay close to our partners and work closely together on the development of new models, materials and fits.

INNOVATIVE
MATERIALS
Â
Depending on the model, we use materials such as water-resistant organic cotton, canvas, cork, recycled textiles and recycled marine plastic. We also use bio-based faux leather and leather from LWG-certified European tanneries. We select materials according to the needs of each shoe: breathable textiles for lightweight sneakers, robust uppers for boots, or soft and flexible materials for particularly comfortable styles. This allows us to create shoes with different characteristics for different uses.
