MakeGood® is a Perth-based footwear brand offering a genuinely responsible alternative to traditional toxic leather school shoes. The current industry model is outdated, with every pair of school shoes linked to ~80kg of carbon emissions, 8,000 litres of water, and materials that often contain PFAS, chromium, microplastics, petroleum-based solvents, and other harmful petrochemicals. More than 90% end up in landfill, and often in our waterways and with growing feet, the product turnover is relentless.
A team of global renowned footwear heavyweights have developed a product and business model designed to reduce waste, emissions, and water use, using organic, bio-based materials like mycelium, with certified biodegradable components wherever possible. No animal products are used, and the shoes are engineered for comfort, durability, and simplicity for schools and families.
