About Us

Welcome to Rooted Footwear

Thank you for being here.
Our brand was created with one purpose: to make comfortable, affordable, everyday shoes that honour the journeys of those who walked before us.

We believe good shoes shouldn’t be a luxury.
They should be accessible, supportive, and made for real life — work, family, early mornings, long days, and everything in between.

Our Legacy

Our story began long before this shop existed. I come from an immigrant family, where even the simplest things — like a reliable pair of shoes — weren’t guaranteed. My mom grew up wearing whatever she could create: plastic bottles softened over heat, scraps of fabric tied together, pieces of rubber shaped into something that resembled a sole. Not because she wanted to, but because she had no other choice.

When she immigrated, life didn’t suddenly get easier. She worked long hours on her feet, often in shoes that rubbed, blistered, or wore down far too quickly. But she kept going, determined to build a better life for us, even if her feet paid the price.

Watching her struggle with something so basic stayed with me.
It planted a seed — a promise that one day, I would create something better.

This brand is that promise fulfilled.

We design shoes that offer the comfort, support, and durability people like my mom have always deserved. Shoes that don’t hurt. Shoes that don’t fall apart. Shoes that honour the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of immigrant families everywhere.

Every pair is a small tribute to her — and to anyone who has ever worked hard, walked far, and pushed forward despite not having much.

This isn’t just a footwear brand.

It’s retribution, gratitude, and legacy — finally walked in comfort.
