How we Started

After going on a tip to Africa, our Founder, discovered cultures and exotic languages she had never heard before. She also saw that walking long distances was a normal way of life. Most people she met were physically fit and this was mostly down the activeness of walking on a daily basis. Thinking about how it is back home, there was a vast difference. She thought there has to be a way to get people back to good physical health by encouraging them to walk a it more.

Before leaving she had learnt a few things including the word “bhutsu”.

Our Mission

Bhutsu means footwear in the African Shona language.

Our mission is to get people to walk, run and be on their feet more in order to improve their physical fitness and wellbeing. We are aiming to do this by:

• Providing good quality footwear for people to wear;
• Providing footcare solutions to stop feet disorders and discomforts;
• Making our feet and legs look good in a variety of ways;
• Providing easy to carry bags for more comfortable walking for longer periods;
• Running workshops to get people active again.

Our Vision

Our vision is to get people fit and healthier by getting them to walk at least a few miles more a day than they do now.

We believe removing any barriers to being on your feet is one thing we can start doing right now, but we will be looking at other ways to bring our vision to life.
