More than 10 years ago, Inkkas was established as a footwear brand unlike any others. In every one of Inkkas' designs, it celebrates beauty from around the world -- creating hand-drawn, colorful, and joyful global designs. Inkkas' first-ever shoe form was the classic Peruvian high top sneaker which was crafted through a sustained partnership with skilled artisan shoemakers. These sneakers, which continue to be a best-seller today, use authentic Peruvian textiles on handcrafted, comfortable forms.

The name Inkkas reflects the brand's uniquely hand-drawn ("inked") style of design, its roots in Latin America, and its growth as a globally-inclusive brand.

It is thanks to our partnership withTrees for The Future  (https://trees.org), an award-winning global tree planting organization, that we can guarantee you that your purchase will directly allow for a new tree to be planted on the planet.  With your support, Inkkas has been responsible for planting more than 380K trees as of 2024.

At this time, Inkkas only makes shoes in “regular” standard widths. We do not currently offer wide sizes. However, the construction of our Joggers and Slip Ons collections tend to accommodate wider feet. We recommend giving these a try!

If your shoes are currently not in stock, please join the waitlist on the product page to be alerted for a restock, or check back in a few days. Our collections are often made in small batches, but we receive shipments regularly.

All of our shoes, including our Joggers, Runners, Camping Boots and Trekks, are designed as comfortable lifestyle footwear. They are made to be comfortable and durable – and many have found them to be great for long walks or casual jogs and hikes, depending on specific needs.  However, they are not designed as technical performance footwear.

We do not recommend putting Inkkas shoes in the washing machine. To keep your Inkkas clean and looking good, we recommend spot cleaning them with a rag and a little soap and water. (For leather areas, spot clean with water only or use a specialized leather cleaner.) Please refer to the Care Instructions on the product page for more information. 

While Inkkas shoes are not waterproof, they are water-resistant. This means they will resist the intrusion of light water (yes, you can stroll around on rainy days). However, if you plan to take them into inclement weather, we recommend using this spray-on protectant to further protect or waterproof your shoes.

Yes, Inkkas provide arch support that is sufficient for the curvature of the average foot.

However, if you typically wear orthopedic insoles in your shoes, you may want to use orthopedic insoles in your Inkkas as well. Inkkas' insoles are removable to make room for orthopedic inserts for the following collections: Slip Ons, High Tops, Low Tops, Camping Boots, and Trekk Boots.

All of our shoes are handcrafted in Mexico. Our signature woven textiles are supplied from local artisans and professionals in Peru. When you buy our shoes, you are buying an authentic, quality Latin American product.

Our footwear designs rely on age-old, small batch craft techniques that are better for people and the planet. We use the finest textiles, leathers and vegan leathers to develop comfortable and vibrant shoes, all crafted by hand.

Our partners throughout the supply chain are paid fair living wages and work in environments that prioritize health, safety, and respect.

E-gifts cards are available here. You can also find them under the shop tab on the website. They are a great gift option for holidays and birthdays! 

Inkkas is always looking for ways to reduce waste, so we encourage all of our customers that are finished using a pair to donate them. There are quality programs across the country and donation centers that will take used shoes. Our partner organization that does a great job repurposing used shoes is Soles4Souls (https://soles4souls.org). Please continue to support our mission of sustainable habits by donating your used shoes instead of throwing them in the trash. 

Inkkas support agents are available between 9:00am to 5:00pm EST, Monday to Saturday. We are committed to responding to inquiries within 24 to 48 hours during business hours. You can reach us at support@inkkas.com.  Please note that we do not respond to inquiries during weekends and/or holidays. For urgent matters, you can also email ops@inkkas.com.

Inkkas is owned & operated by a diverse collective of individuals – artists, designers, builders, and dreamers – who rally together to craft our collections. We are united by a shared belief in the power of globally inclusive & joyful representation in fashion, and we are on a mission to do so in a way that respects people & our planet. We hope you enjoy these fun, global, colorful designs!
