Materials & Sustainability
Good for your feet.
Kinder to the planet.
We build AJL shoes from materials that start in nature or get a second life — and we only make the claims our materials can back up.
Australian Merino Wool
The Walking Max YC005-9 wraps your foot in Merino wool flyknit: naturally soft, breathable and temperature-friendly, with a warm, gentle touch in cool weather.

Recycled leather support panels (Walking Pro), recycled suede uppers (YC005-10) and recycled cow leather (Coffee Shoe) keep good material in use and out of landfill — durable texture with a smaller footprint.

Billions of cups of coffee leave mountains of spent grounds behind. AJL turns them into sole material for the Coffee Shoe: naturally moisture-absorbing, odour-resistant and distinctively textured.

Most AJL soles pair natural rubber with ultralight EVA — grip you can trust with cushioning that stays featherlight for miles. TPU adds structure and wear resistance where trails demand it.
