Hi Everyone, I'm Tom, the Founder of Tofers. We're on a mission to make the most comfortable, refined men's shoes on the planet while looking out for the planet. We're starting out with the Hampton, the men's smoking slipper made of eco-friendly materials without compromising on comfort, breathability, or durability so you can head out into the world, guilt-free and proud of the minimal footprint you leave behind. Every product you buy is a choice and a reflection of your values. Consider how the product is made, what it is made of, and what the company stands for… You shouldn’t have to compromise on those values for the sake of style. That's why we started with the timeless design of a smoking slipper and elevated it sustainably with recycled rubber soles, chrome-free leather & suede, recycled foam padding, cotton-woven counters & toe puffs, and a water-based adhesive. We don’t expect you to know what all of those components are, but you should know that each was consciously chosen for its eco-friendly properties to create a men’s smoking slipper unlike any other, without compromising on comfort, breathability, or durability. Tofers are crafted in an ethically run factory in Portugal by skilled artisans who are paid fair wages. Our long-time factory partner has been operating for 30+ years and is incredibly excited to bring Tofers' unique and sustainable products to the market. Initially available in three distinct colors, the versatile Hampton is equally confident traversing your cozy home with sweats, busy city sidewalks with chinos and a t-shirt, tired office carpets with slacks and a button-down, the hottest restaurant in town with jeans and a blazer, or your friend's wedding with a suit and tie. Climate collapse is one of the greatest threats to our world. That's why we are extremely conscious of our carbon footprint, from the composition of each component to where they come from. Because our shoes are crafted in Portugal, it is paramount that our suppliers are close by to minimize how far each element travels, and as such, our primary components are all sourced from within Portugal and all others come from within the EU. We are also working to offset our carbon footprint by planting one mangrove tree + restoring one square foot of kelp forest for every pair sold via our partner SeaTrees. In an effort to avoid the pitfalls of fast fashion which often leads to excess inventory and waste, we launched via Kickstarter to lock in pre-orders, providing upfront capital to produce the precise quantity of each color/size shoe ordered, while also allowing us to build a modest inventory for future growth. After a successful Kickstarter, we moved to Indiegogo for further orders. By backing Tofers, you are helping to bring the Hampton to life, so we can elevate our footprint together. Orders will ship by March 2022. Happy to answer any questions you may have! 🌎 🚀 Back us today! https://igg.me/at/tofers/x/27769... 🚀 🌎
