What is a 'Factory Second'? What should I expect?

All our shoes are made using natural materials & following hundreds of manual operations, that is why a small part of our production get damaged & end up not meeting our quality standards. These shoes are considered 'Factory Seconds' and that is why we offer them at a very reduced price.
Shoes offered on this Sale are made using the same materials & construction, these are shoes form our regular production which did not pass our quality control. No shoes are specifically produced to be sold on this sale.
All products sold on this Sale are 100% functional & wearable despite the aesthetic blemishes.
Even most of the blemishes & defects are minor, here is a list of the kind of defects that make these pairs Factory Seconds.

Common Questions
Why Should I buy a Factory Second? Am I making any difference?
Beyond the important discount, these products—crafted from beautiful materials with proper construction but marked by only aesthetic imperfections—offer something greater: the chance to contribute to offsetting the carbon emissions tied to their production and transport. This is what true circular production looks like.
It may sound like a cliché, but it’s a simple reality: by giving these products and materials a second life, you’re helping prevent waste while supporting a more responsible way of consuming. These items can’t be sold at full price, and without this initiative, many would eventually be discarded.
In the end, it’s a genuinely sustainable form of consumption—one that carries a real and measurable environmental impact.
