About us
Nestled Brisbane, QLD, Australia, Khak emerged from our own longing for a deeper connection to the Earth. Faced with the challenge of finding footwear that allowed us to stay grounded, we realised that the options available severed this vital connection rather than nurturing it.
Driven by this itch to bridge the gap between modern life and our primal need for grounding, we set out to create something truly special. Our mission was clear: to create high-quality, fashionable grounding shoes that not only reconnect us to the Earth but also support the natural shape of our feet while honouring our commitment to sustainability and wellness.
And so, with dedication and passion, Khak was born—a brand rooted in the belief that every step should be a conscious connection to the planet. Each pair of our premium-quality shoes is meticulously handmade, designed to support the natural shape of your foot while grounding you to the Earth beneath. Moreover, our shoes seamlessly blend functionality with a fashionable aesthetic, ensuring you are not only grounded but also look stylish wherever your journey takes you.
