Fabricación de calzado

We just needed better sandals.

Two childhood friends. One hot summer pavement. Barefoot. Competing to see who could last longer before giving in to the burn.

That’s where it really started.

Years later, Tal and Nadav found themselves walking very different roads.

One was deep in the Thai mountains, barefoot and soaked to the bone in a heavy monsoon. His flip-flops had torn mid-hike in a remote village, so he sat with a local leather artisan to craft a pair of sandals for the journey ahead.

The other was deep into years of world travel when the strain began to surface. Stubborn injuries, tired feet, and too many miles in the wrong shoes. So he embarked on a new path, toward healing and better movement.

But both paths led to the same realization: most footwear works against the human body, not with it. Too padded, heavy, and clumsy.

We didn’t want more of the same.

We wanted less.

Something simple, light, beautiful, and truly durable. Comfortable enough to move in, whatever the day brings, and easy to forget you’re even wearing it.

So we started making ZuZu. First for ourselves. Then for curious strangers asking on remote beaches and busy streets:

"Where can I get those?"
