DYO Shoes with New Colors of Eco-Friendly Leather

Offering you the option to pick your own shoes colors is important to us. Not only is it fun, but when we are making your DYO shoes, we feel more of a connection to you. Being able to see someone's different sense of style makes us appreciate different perspectives, and then we become more creative ourselves.

Every year, we source new colors of leather and add them as options to our customizable shoe styles. It's that time of year, and we're excited to now offer you the following 10 new color options! Softstar leather is carefully and responsibly sourced from eco-and-employee conscious tanneries in Europe and the Americas using safe food-grade color dyes free from plastics or toxic chemicals.

Please note that not all colors are available on every style. Explore our customizable styles to see where you can find each of these colors!
