Forsake Information

Inspired by our love of the great outside, we make Climate Neutral-certified sneakerboots with all-weather protection, rugged construction, and versatile styling. Every pair of Forsakes is designed with our Peak-to-Pavement® philosophy in mind. Because whether you’re on city streets or unmarked trails, we believe that your days should never be limited by the gear on your feet. Our story began in 2009 when two friends left the east coast for snowier pastures in Big Sky, MT and Alta, UT. Jobs were secured, apartments were rented, and skiing powder became a daily pursuit. But life in the mountains puts a real strain on footwear. We needed shoes that could withstand the elements while effortlessly navigating between work and play. In 2012, we set about making them after raising more than $100,000 in a Kickstarter campaign. Today, our operations are based in Portland, OR and Milwaukee, WI, and our sneaker boots are sold online and in more than 225 retail stores across North America. We’ve participated in the 43North start-up incubator program and are members of the Outdoor Diversity CEO Pledge, Mission Brand Alliance, and Climate Neutral.
