BERT is not just another outdoor sports shoe brand, its a new kind of shoe that active people wear immediately before and after whatever they love to do, from running to riding and wakeboarding to white water rafting. Bert is the first ever pre/post activity shoe designed for the active life enthusiast.
Technical gear, including footwear, is designed to excel in a specific activity and not to be worn out doing something else. Cyclists, for example, hate destroying their cleats on the pavement before and after a ride. The more sophisticated sports /outdoor footwear becomes, the harder it is to use it for any other use like walking or relaxing.
Finally, active people are always looking for ways to save space and weight. When they pack for the day ahead, every inch counts, Packing smart is key.. Thats why Bert shoes are made to squeeze into the tightest places, freeing up much-needed space and keeping you light on your feet wherever you go.
In Bert we don’t compete against any sports footwear; we complement it
Cycling, Hiking, Running - whatever moves you -we are ‘the other shoe’ specially designed for your pre and post-activity.
Bert has become part of the daily use of many athletes here in Colombia where we don’t just make beautiful shoes. but we are also deeply committed to supporting our nations communities.
The natural rubber we use on our soles is sourced from ASOHECA, a community comprising 1,200 families dedicated to rubber production. These families once involved in activities like working on cocaine farms or being associated with the Guerrilla have been provided with a fresh start. Lastly, our dedication to making a difference extends to our furry friends. We cherish animals deeply and are actively involved in reducing the population of stray dogs in our country. A portion of our profits goes towards supporting sterilization programs in underserved communities throughout Colombia.
