AERA Information

Luxury footwear without a footprint. Luxury is not a new pair of shoes. Luxury is clean water and fresh air. It’s not about how much you have, but how much you give back. It’s putting people and the planet, before product. It’s raising the bar, not just for yourself, but for others. It’s about honoring traditions while blazing new trails. It’s about looking forward, not back. It’s about making sure every step you take, has as small an environmental impact as possible. Because real luxury is leaving the world better than you found it. AERA is a Certified B Corp, and is leading the luxury footwear industry forward by placing equal value on the planet, people, and profit. With timeless designs that are ethically crafted from vegan materials, AERA strives to be a leader in making sustainability the new normal. AERA accurately measures the impacts that the materials, manufacturing, storage, and transportation of its shoes have on the environment. Not only does it work to offset these impacts, but it also goes one step further by offsetting them by 110%. Ultimately, AERA was created because the founders believe doing good is as important as looking good. AERA’s commitment to social sustainability is shown through its partnership with two multigenerational family-owned factories in the Veneto region of Italy. In doing so, the brand is helping preserve the artisanal process of luxury shoemaking, the main industry in Veneto.
