Creating SxY was far from an overnight endeavor; it was a transformative journey filled with intricacies and well-earned rewards.
Anouk, the visionary founder, immersed herself in the world of shoemaking, delving deep into the craft.
It took over 2.5 years of unwavering commitment, extensive research, expert guidance from orthopedic specialists, and countless fittings and measurements with women to develop the impeccable customized last that defines our brand.
As a new brand, SxY embraces the responsibility of sustainable production. That’s why our shoes are meticulously crafted from leftover leather.

While achieving 100% sustainability may pose challenges, our mission remains resolute—to do everything within our power to make a difference. We are devoted to ensuring everyone, from our skilled artisans to our cherished customers, feels comfortable and supported in their shoes.
At the core of SxY’s philosophy is a deep care for people. We envision a world where individuals can authentically express themselves, embracing their uniqueness and confidently traversing their chosen path. We strive to create a positive ripple effect in our community and the wider world we share by seamlessly intertwining our passion for craftsmanship, sustainability, and inclusivity.
