Rombaut CHELSEA BOOTS

Rombaut offers an ethical alternative to fast fashion footwear. Launched in 2013 by Belgian designer Mats Rombaut, the Paris-based label proposes environmentally-friendly footwear made primarily from vegan materials. In an effort to eliminate toxic substances, Rombaut derives its plant-based materials from natural sources like coconut, fig, pineapple, and tree bark. The brand’s innovative designs—typified by their outré chunky-soles—have garnered industry-wide attention despite the use of such unconventional ingredients. Although specializing in sculptural sneakers, Rombaut offers a range of sleek monochromatic slip-ons and biotech-inspired lace-up boots. Each style is hand-finished in the designer’s Parisian workshop to ensure the utmost quality. Taking a climate-conscious approach to high-fashion footwear, Rombaut strikes a balance between the organic and the avant-garde.
