Each pair of Akanas is crafted using our proprietary Double-Needle Stitching Technique, which joins the upper, insole, and midsole with beeswax cotton twine. This method ensures exceptional durability, making your Akanas sturdy companions for years to come. When they wear out, we restitch them to extend their life even further.

Crafted from premium full-grain cowhide, the leather used in Akanas highlights its natural beauty and exceptional durability. For the lining, we use only naturally tanned, ultra-soft cowhide. This chemical-free tanning process ensures superior breathability, keeping your feet fresh and comfortable all day long.

But it doesn't stop there. The midsole of Akanas is made from water buffalo skin, treated with traditional techniques that avoid the use of chemicals. As you wear them, the buffalo skin begins to mould itself to the exact shape of your feet, providing orthopaedic benefits and comfort.

Akanas feature Italian non-slip outer rubber soles, enhancing durability and protecting the midsoles. These high-quality soles are replaceable, allowing a cobbler to refresh your shoes and extend their lifespan. This process can be repeated, letting your Akanas age gracefully and develop a beautiful patina.
