Our fine calfskin comes from Italy and is a by-product of the livestock industry. Our environmental protection therefore already begins with the acceptance of the leather.
The LWG certification shows that the tannery meets the highest standards for environmentally friendly production. The tanning agents are obtained from FSC® certified woods, so the tanning is purely vegetable without chrome and with a saving of 53.7% water. The factories where the leather production takes place meet the ISO14001 standard and are EMAS registered (for environmental management and with environmental audit).
If you want to keep your DUCKS for a long time, you should take good care of them. For all its positive qualities, leather is a sensitive material that only remains supple, dirt- and water-repellent and retains its original colour with regular care.
Be sure to impregnate your DUCKS with a waterproofing spray before wearing them for the first time. When impregnating, the motto is: it is better to apply a thin layer regularly than a thick one once.
For cleaning, use a clean, damp cloth and wipe the DUCKS carefully. Then allow the shoe to air dry.
Stuff damp DUCKS with absorbent material (newspaper) and allow to dry slowly - not directly on or near the heater.

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.


100% special.
certified organic leather
For us, it is very important where the leather comes from and that we can trace every metre of it. Our leather is a by-product of the Italian livestock industry, so it is not thrown away but used for something useful. It is only carefully processed for us in specially selected and certified tanneries: purely vegetable tanned and dyed with plant substances.
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.
