what-makes-a-wolky
So glad you asked. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
Wolkys are designed to feel like clouds—soft, cushy clouds you get to walk all over (lucky you), and it all begins right beneath your feet.
Our leather-covered footbeds are carefully engineered using the finest materials like high-grade memory foam and natural, contoured cork to create a cushion that molds to your feet and absorbs the shock of all those steps you’re taking. They’re anatomically shaped to help spread weight evenly for a comfortable stride, and in many cases, our footbeds are even removable. Just replace with a new one or a custom orthotic to kick up the walkability of your Wolkys in seconds. Nifty, right?
We don’t cut corners on craftsmanship.
On average, each shoe is made from fifty different parts, which are meticulously assembled to produce Wolky-worthy results. From fit and finishing touches to materials, colors and our signature style, attention to detail is an absolute necessity. That’s how we guarantee remarkable quality and comfort, plus durability and fun-meets-functional fashion for all.
Surprise! Did you know that the Wolky name actually doesn’t have anything to do with walking? It’s true. Not that we didn’t find this serendipitous double meaning to be a happy coincidence, but Wolky’s namesake is actually the Dutch word for cloud, wolk. Pretty interesting stuff, especially considering how true it is. As soon as you set foot in a pair of Wolkys, you’ll know why feet love our shoes—they’re just like walking on a cloud.
Established in 1982, Wolky is a Dutch, family-run company that has stood for stellar quality, comfort and style since the day we opened our doors. What began with the Alto, our first women’s sandal, has now grown to include shoes, heels, clogs, boots, slides, moccasins and more for both ladies and gents (our men’s line is called Cloud 9—how fitting). Today, Wolky is worn the world over and is sold in more than 2,000 international retailers. We produce 25+ different lines every season, and we continue making strides toward even greater comfort and innovation for the future.
