Why so cheap; what’s the catch?
We are able to bring you top quality shoes at such a good price because we are a local, South African born & bred sports footwear company. This means:
- We do not pay royalties to any international company or individual.
- We don’t have to pay a sourcing fee overseas like other shoe brands.
- We don’t pay mega-star individuals or teams to endorse our products. We choose to support local athletes.
- We are not paying inflated import duties.
The above expenses are all paid by almost all the big running shoe brands available in SA (and paid in USD or Euros), and these fees push up the price well beyond what the shoe and its materials actually cost. The bottom line is that South Africans are paying too much for shoes.
Our products are proudly South African, designed in Cape Town and the R&D is done by local athletes.
Support local – we do!
