ABOUT US

Our Story

It all started with a simple idea: what if shoes could be more than just something you wear? We were tired of compromising—choosing between style and comfort, durability and affordability. So, in 2018, we decided to create something different. A brand that didn’t just sell footwear but celebrated the adventures they’d take you on.

I remember our first prototype—a pair of sneakers we designed for a friend training for a marathon. "They’re good," she said, "but they could be legendary." That feedback stuck with us. We spent months tweaking materials, testing soles, and obsessing over details most people wouldn’t notice. And you know what? When she crossed that finish line, her only blister was from the victory high-fives.

What We Believe

Honestly? We think shoes matter. They’re the foundation of your day—whether you’re chasing toddlers, crushing deadlines, or exploring new trails. That’s why we:

  • Never cut corners: Our moisture-wicking linings aren’t just "breathable"—they’re engineered to outlast your toughest workouts
  • Design for real life: Those "chunky" soles? They’re not just trendy—they’re packed with shock absorption because your joints deserve love too
  • Keep it ethical: From recycled laces to vegan leather options, we’re constantly finding ways to lighten our footprint

One customer put it perfectly: "These don’t feel like shoes—they feel like part of my story." That’s the magic we’re after.

Why Wild Tred Exists

Remember when you were a kid and your sneakers made you feel invincible? We’re here to bring that feeling back. Not through gimmicks, but through thoughtful craftsmanship.

Take our trail shoes—what started as a Kickstarter project (funded by 237 hikers who believed in us) now helps thousands explore nature without slipping or soreness. Or our slip-ons that nurses and teachers swear by during 12-hour shifts. These aren’t just products—they’re problem solvers.

"I’ve worn these through three European cities, two music festivals, and one very muddy dog park—still going strong!"
— Jamie R., loyal customer since 2020

The Inspiration Behind Our Collection

Every design starts with a "why not?" moment. Why can’t hiking boots be lightweight and supportive? Why do dress shoes have to hurt? We prototype relentlessly—our workshop wall is covered with sketches of soles that look more like modern art than footwear.

Our bestseller started as a napkin doodle during a delayed flight. The secret? A memory foam insole with arch support that makes you feel like you’re "walking on clouds" (yes, we get that compliment a lot). But what really makes us proud? Seeing photos from customers—from mountain summits to wedding aisles—all with one thing in common: big smiles and happy feet.

So whether you’re running errands or running marathons, we’ve got you covered. Because life’s too short for uncomfortable shoes.
