PAADUKS

Paaduks – a derivative of the Sanskrit word Paaduka which essentially means footwear. As an environment-conscious brand, we upcycle old, discarded tyres and turn them into unique, comfortable shoes. The initiative was the first step to creating and promoting a vegan and sustainable lifestyle. The primary objective of Paaduks is to bring sustainability to the use of products that are planet friendly. With a strict no-chemicals policy, we design our vegan footwear from ethically sourced materials - jute, cotton, upcycled corks and more - and turn them into stylish statements of sustainable fashion. As a brand, our core has always been to upcycle. The footwears are made by upcycling waste tyres and rubber to save the environment by reducing pollution, reducing cruelty against animals, reducing carbon footprints on the planet due to the fashion industry, reducing wastage of water and reducing the use of leather. The major tour de force behind Paaduks are the skilled cobblers of Kurla. These artisans create affordable sustainable footwear from ethically sourced products and upcycled waste - Cotton, jute, denim, tyres, cork, pvc leather, elastic, foam etc. Crafting beautiful, fashionable and sustainable footwear from these materials is no mere task, and our team works tirelessly to ensure that a sustainable future lies ahead.
