story of shoes
World original from Czechia!
4 CONTINENTS 12 YEARS 30 COUNTRIES 10 000 000 POEPLE
„I started this business as an ordinary shoe salesman. Too many times in this particular industry I've seen brands crash and burn...
...for various reasons.That’s why I had this dream, to create something special on the market – to create my own shoe from A to Z.” I began by reading books about ancient history where I found references to handwoven shoe techniques. Furthermore, these shoes were all made from local materials.So, in 2005 I set to work organizing our first collection. We released a comfortable and breathable shoe made from woven elastic. Rock Spring shoes found fans on the European market first. Now they are worn by people all over the world, in 30 countries, and on 4 continents. That is how my second dream came to fruition - I can travel. For work, I explore many places and cultures, and I am constantly learning new things. We now sell hundreds of thousands of Rock Spring shoes worldwide, but we are still a small team. We like it that way. We create great shoes for people who just want to be themselves, who enjoy life and travel. People who live to be free..“

HOW OUR SHOES ARE CREATED
How do we make our shoes? Remarkably.You’ll notice “Made in China” written on the shoes but there’s more to those words than you might expect.
Not just made in China
Rock Spring shoes are made by stay-at-home employees. Women and men who are, for one reason or another, unable to go to work because they are taking care of their young children or a sick family member.
Every week these employees receive a ball of elastic string from the Rock Spring factory that they knit by hand. When the upper is knit, they’re returned to the factory where the shoe is completed with the insole and the sole. We produce our shoes in China with the help of a local family factory where the workers have been loyal to their employer for over a decade.
We are certain that the work conditions are set fairly.
A SHOE THAT REMEMBERS YOU!
Your foot, that is: inside each shoe there is memory foam.
As you wear your shoes, the insole will exactly copy the form of your sole. It's as if each shoe were tailor-made specifically for you.
WHEN YOUR FEET EARN
YOUR PAYCHECK
As a professional tennis player, I spend only a few weeks a year at home....
…The rest of the year I am on the road. I travel, I’m on the move all the time. That is why I value comfortable shoes. Not just on the court, but also on a flight, while waiting in the airport, or in those precious free moments off. Besides the superior comfort of the shoes, I like that Rock Spring is a Czech brand."“
