Together with experts, we have started the ReWoolution: further developing the classic loden fabric into our DUCKS Loden. Unlike conventional merino wool, our DUCKS Wool in navy is made from 100% recycled high-quality wool cuttings, processed very elaborately and then upgraded in a special process to make it weatherproof. 100% natural.
Loden is a particularly light fabric that is pleasant to wear on the skin and gives our shoes an optimal fit. Wool allows the feet to breathe particularly well. Our shoes are therefore breathable, temperature balancing and prevent unnecessary sweating. The elaborate processing of the virgin wool, fulling, not only makes the loden more resistant and warmer, but also water-repellent and even dirt-resistant.
Loden is naturally protected by lanolin and is therefore extremely easy to care for. Lanolin protects the wool fibre from rain, dirt and odours. However, additional impregnation does not do any harm! Regular airing and brushing with a natural hair brush maintains the quality of the fabric very well. For additional cleaning, you can moisten the material with light vinegar water and then brush it out with a clothes or shoe brush. Edges and stains can be removed with a damp cloth and a little curd soap.

ALWAYS WITH FUN.
THIS IS US.
We are ready to break new ground and revolutionise the fashion industry. Our ambitious goal - We want to develop a completely circular sneaker. To take the fashion industry in a new direction, we need to question everything from manufacturing processes and material production to communication about the carbon footprint of our sneakers and the ethics of the supply chain. We are proud to combine innovation with design and sustainability - see for yourself.
Made in Italy & Portugal
Handcrafted in Europe.
Where innovation meets craftsmanship and years of experience meet new approaches. Every pair of DUCKS is handmade. In a small, family-run factory in Italy or at our partner's in the north of Portugal, where they also know exactly what makes sustainably good shoes. And that, by the way, is more than just good shape.


Hightech material wool
On the way to true circularity.
Recycled wool that would otherwise have ended up in the trash is cleaned, spun and woven into a premium fabric for our sneakers. Circularity does not only mean ensuring the reuse of materials after the end of their use, but also avoiding waste and using natural materials from the beginning. The advantage is great: Wool is a rapidly renewable raw material, does not have to be manufactured in a complex way like synthetic materials and does not consist of complex material combinations that make recycling difficult. What's more, wool is biodegradable.
That´s how sustainability works.
We are climate neutral.
You can be sure: All our products and our entire company are climate-neutral. Because it is our claim to make a contribution to climate protection . Because we don't just want to get involved on our own doorstep, we support the Brazilian forest protection project in Pará. It prohibits the deforestation and commercial use of an area of 86,000 hectares on the Amazon, creates educational opportunities and sources of income for the local inhabitants.
