It's BLACK FRIDAY - HOW CAN WE DO BETTER?⁠
⁠
The Black Friday weekend is here, and while we are not taking part, before we close this chapter, we would like to leave you with a positive message for the future.⁠
⁠
Our stance on this subject is a conscious choice that we stand by. We could accelerate production, even ask our manufacturers to temporarily increase their workforce, but we follow the practices of sustainable and fair fashion, which to us, to respect our manufacturers, customers, workers and Nature itself, allowing them to work in their way and at their rhythms whenever possible.⁠
⁠
We invite you to join us in this stance, choosing quality, fairly made products and taking conscious steps towards making a better future for all. ⁠

BLACK FRIDAY - GREAT DISCOUNTS, GREAT IMPACT Once

BLACK FRIDAY - GREAT DISCOUNTS, GREAT IMPACT

Once considered a chance to recover from losses and enjoy the first day of the holiday season as a family day, Black Friday has evolved well beyond highly discounted prices into the creation of limited edition products, artificial price manipulation and more. Most of these practices have an increasingly negative impact on society and the environment, and we feel that we should denounce and avoid them, so that you, as the consumer can make conscious and informed choices.

So while we will not be hosting a Black Friday event, we chose to focus on it this week in all of our media, discussing this day’s history, effects and what we can do to turn this tide around together.

MUKISHOES ARE GENDERLESS⁠
⁠
Mukishoes were designed and created by two women, but with the firm intent of being unissex and genderless. ⁠
⁠
We may lean more towards some colors and designs than others, but we do not differentiate between "boys colors" and "girls colors" when creating our color stoties.⁠
⁠
Likewise, we do not distinguish or attribute sizes or models to a gender, that is why our sizing is continuous, not separated into men's and women's or girl's and boy's. We do this because we believe and know that women can enjoy traditionally masculine style and men can have a preference for yellow shoes. ⁠
⁠
More than that, feet come in different shapes and sizes depending on your genetic features and development, so we have kids that wear adult sizes and vice-versa, as well as men and women that wear the same size, both in the same house or across the world.⁠
⁠
In an ever more inclusive world, in which gender identities have exceeded the binary convention and fashion has long been adopted by both sexes, we believe that our shoes should reflect inclusion and freedom.⁠
⁠
⁠

ARE STANDARD SIZES REAL?⁠ ⁠ Most of the questi

ARE STANDARD SIZES REAL?⁠
⁠
Most of the questions we get from customers are bout sizing, and while we do have guidelines, there aren't always straightforward to answer.⁠
⁠
The idea of standard sizing has been a part of of the clothing and footwear industries for over a century, but are these conceptions of universal sizing realistic?⁠
⁠
When shoes are made in different parts of the world, using different materials, measurement systems and designs, it is not so simple to use a standard conversions table to find your size, and that is a concern both for your and for us, in Grown-ups and Kids.⁠
⁠
Since "true to size" is a truly subjective notion, the best way to try and ensure you get the best available fit is to measure your feet carefully, and to know all of its unique features.⁠
⁠
With that, we can try to advise you to the best of our capabilities, but bewarre - we do our best, but we are still humans, and without seeing your foot personally in the shoe, our recommendations are a guidance more than a definite answer.⁠

YOU ONLY NEED A FLAME...⁠
⁠
Children are the future, and at a time when climate change is at the heart of social and political discussion, it is important to build a better future Earth with them and for them.⁠
⁠
Kids are still at the beginning of their lives, their bodies are still bound to change and develop as they grown, so it is important to grow with them and create good habits.⁠
⁠
Mukishoes has been evolving with the world and its customers. We adapt with each collection to try and better meet your expectations and needs. ⁠
⁠
This year's Chelsea Boots have been adjusted to become easier to put on and more suitable for higher volume or instep feet. You can see this change in the Flame Paw for instance.⁠
⁠
Will you help light up the flame of change?

WHAT IS CORK FABRIC⁠
⁠
We've been talking a lot about cork, but it seems that there are still a lot of questions about how this material comes to be a part of your Mukishoes.⁠
⁠
While we can't detail the whole process, we can answer some more questions like whether it comes straight from the tree or it is made of of not entirely cork.⁠
⁠
As we have recently shown you, cork comes from tree bark. It is extracted, then dried for 6 months on average, and finally treated. If it is the right kind of cork - because as we have just learned, not all Cork is equal and can be used for this purpose - flattened and pressed into a fabric backing, either natural or synthetic. ⁠
⁠
Interestingly enough, Cork has a natural adhesive already embedded in the sheets, so the bonding is all natural, making this water repellent material truly incredible.⁠

COZY, COLORFUL WOOL FOR ALL⁠ ⁠ Ara was a firm

COZY, COLORFUL WOOL FOR ALL⁠
⁠
Ara was a firm favorite last Winter, and now it's come back for the little ones as well as the grown-ups that yearn for color and vibrancy.⁠
⁠
This colorful wool high-top barefoot sneaker is not only cozy, but also versatile, as burel, a very special wool from Serra da Estrela has unique properties.⁠
⁠
While burel can't quite be likened to leather or cork, it does also have its own natural water repellent properties. For this reason, it should hold up well in humid weather, to a point that shepherds wore them even in the rain through the harsh mountain winters.⁠
⁠
With this in mind, and given that the wool fibers are precious and can be damaged by some care products, we do not recommend waterproofind these shoes. Instead, you can use lanolin, a substance that is naturally present in the material, to care for these shoes.

FEELING BLUE?⁠
⁠
Days are becomming chillier, and Winter will soon be here, so it's time for Winter blues - the good kind!´⁠
Our new Tzippy Blue boot is a tall, ankle height barefoot model that has a lot of fun and personality thrown into it, with burel and chrome-free leather uppers, accent by a suprise heel design, not to mention a speckled natural colored barefoot sole for full toe splaying and freedom of movement.⁠
⁠
It is water repellent, adjustable and easy to get in and out of thanks to the side zipper.⁠

THE LIFE OF CORK Have you ever seen Cork it's nat

THE LIFE OF CORK

Have you ever seen Cork it's natural form? We have recently had the pleasure of seeing its extraction firsthand and learning from an expert on this incredible special Portuguese material.

"Cork is quite a unique case among tree bark, as it protects the trees from Winter’s low temperatures as well as Mediterranean Summer’s fires. It is the Cork that protects the inner parts of the tree and allows it to regenerate for generations to come."

When transformed into a textile, it can do much the same for you, as is the case with our cork shoes and boots, but that's not all that makes it special.

Cork regenerates itself, so the trees are never harmed by its extration, and its protection begins to restore itself shortly after.

We love Cork even more as we learn about it. What do you think?

QUERCUS, THE CHOCOLATE CORK BOOT⁠
⁠
At this moment, we have several cork models with different designs and material combination - a lot more than we started with back in 2019.⁠
⁠
Cork is one of our favorite materials not only because it is one of Portugal«s biggest exports, but also because of its amazing properties, that closely mimic leather with a much smaller impact on the environment.⁠
⁠
Back at the time of our first cork release we wrote a blog post all about this amazing material, which is " a 100% natural and has a unique set of properties. It is lightweight, since more than half of its volume consists of air, as well as elastic and soft to the touch. It is also water resistant, static resistant and works fantastically for thermic insulation."⁠
⁠
Coupled with the ethically-sourced wool lining, this boot is a great option for Winter. We look forward to tell you more about Cork and answer all of your questions below!
