Sometimes inspiration can be found in the most unlikely of places.

Each year, 3 billion tires come into the world - and are eventually dumped wherever they are no longer found to be useful. In many parts of the world, there is no strategic way of repurposing those tires. Thus, they become breeding grounds for mosquitoes carrying deadly diseases, they leach toxins, and take many, many years to break down.

However, tires can also provide many solutions - and that’s what we are focused on in Brave
Soles.

Founded in 2017
by Christal Duncan, Brave Soles is focused on crafting classically styled footwear and
accessories with upcycled materials and ethical, small scale production chains.

Our handcrafted shoes have up-cycled tire soles and all our accessories (Miina Goods) are fashioned with reclaimed leather from aircraft seats and other sources.

Our brand was inspired by our founder’s work with landfill workers around the world.

Through research and local partnerships, she discovered that a fashion business model focused
on meaningful work, responsible production, and within the reach of average consumers could help inspire and create meaningful change.

We are focused on designs that are classic and able to provide many avenues of enterprise that help to make a more equitable world.
