form & fauna

form & fauna creates...

beautiful shoes from sustainable materials. Our intention is to design shoes that are chic, naturally derived, unique, and comfortable. We aim high in our aesthetic and and low in our environmental footprint.

In order to reduce our environmental impression, we research and source the best eco materials and upgrade components when we find better alternatives - that is our commitment. We manufacture our products in the United States because we believe that it's important to stay close to production to ensure product integrity and we like to support the remaining shoemaking craftspeople in the U.S.

We believe that 'less is more'. Buy fewer things that are built to last longer. Our shoes are handcrafted and intended for use in walking, standing, working, living. We believe in clean lines for the modern conscience. We believe that sustainable production is the only way forward. We believe in form and fauna.
