Origo Shoes was born from our ideas, research, and passion to create a contemporary, and everyday sneaker guided by barefoot design. We became strong advocates of the barefoot philosophy after our premature twins experienced difficulty learning to walk. Searching for solutions, we remembered our own childhood in Colombia, where we often had uninterrupted contact with nature by walking barefoot. Once we had our children do the same, we quickly saw their balance and confidence improve.
Origo is natural footwear in every sense. We’ve created shoes with thoughtful design and natural materials to support your foot’s integrity, all while taking steps to reduce our environmental impact.
We’re so happy you’re here!

The foot evolved for strength, movement, and balance. We make natural footwear that gives your feet the freedom to move.

Your foot is a sensor. Thin soles increase overall sensitivity by allowing your nerves to detect pressure from the ground.

Our flexible soles allow the thirty-three joints in each foot to work as one, boosting strength and reducing stiffness.

Experience the room your feet need to spread out naturally. This improves stability and gives you superior balance.

No heel drop encourages correct posture. It relieves abnormal pressure by keeping the heel and ball of your foot at the same height.

Cotton Canvas
Biodegradable, vegan, breathable, durable, machine-washable, anti-mycotic. Cotton needs a lot of water to grow, but it produces the lowest carbon emissions out of any material.
Natural Leather
Durable, breathable, ability to mold to your foot’s shape, and moisture absorbing. The local tanneries we source from have certification from the Leather Working Group, the world’s largest leather sustainability program that trains companies on best practices to reduce their environmental impact.
Vegan Cactus Leather
Vegan, flexible, water-resistant, stain-resistant, and biodegradable. Our organic cactus is farmed using little water and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere. Responsibly harvested in Mexico.
Corn Starch
To offset our use of oil-based polymers, our soles are partially made of a biopolymer made from corn starch, providing value-added functionality such as improved oxygen barriers and biodegradability.
Doing it differently goes beyond the materials that our shoes are made of. Every step of the way, we take sustainability seriously, so that you can feel good about shoes that feel good.
+ We minimize the need for long-haul transport by keeping our entire supply and production chain within North America, near our production facility in León, Mexico.
+ We assembled our team of artisans from the first to the last stitch to ensure ethical working standards.
+ We use smart packaging solutions and materials, to be easier on our planet— from garden-compostable wrappers to shoebox-less kraft shippers.
+ We donate to help with reforestation of the Amazon for every pair sold. One Tree Planted has been responsible for replanting acres of rainforest since 2014!
