Q&A

1. Why do we use genuine leather at Wydr Studios?

 At Wydr Studios, we choose genuine leather because it's built to last. Its natural strength, breathability, and ability to mold to your feet mean every step you take is supported by both durability and comfort. Plus, leather's timeless aesthetic aligns with our philosophy of creating pieces that never go out of style.

2. How does leather extend the life of our shoes?

Unlike synthetics that tend to wear out or lose shape quickly, genuine leather maintains its structure and beauty over time. Our shoes are designed to go the distance—thanks in large part to leather’s resilient properties—making every pair a lasting investment.

3. How does leather make our shoes more comfortable?

Genuine leather adapts naturally to the shape of your feet, offering a personalized fit that only gets better with time. This minimizes pressure points and enhances comfort, especially during long hours of wear.

4. How does Wydr ensure leather quality?

We work with trusted, ethical manufacturing partners who meet high standards for both quality and environmental responsibility. Our materials are carefully selected by industry veterans with experience at top global brands—ensuring every pair combines comfort, durability, and modern style.

5. Are our leather shoes sustainable?

Absolutely. Leather is a biodegradable material, and we’re committed to responsible sourcing. Our leather is processed in eco-conscious facilities that reduce waste and avoid harmful chemicals. By using leather, we also steer clear of petroleum-based synthetics.

6. What does breathability mean for you?

Leather’s natural pores allow airflow, reducing heat and moisture buildup. That means drier, fresher feet—even on warm days. It’s comfort you can feel.

7. Why is leather always in style?

From boardrooms to brunches, leather adds a touch of sophistication. Its rich texture and natural character make each pair unique—anchoring Wydr shoes as timeless staples in every wardrobe.

8. What about environmental impact?

We use leather that’s responsibly sourced and processed in eco-conscious facilities powered in part by solar energy. Our partners are LWG Gold Certified, which means no harmful chemicals, lower energy use, and high standards for people and the planet.

9. What about vegan options?

Coming Soon: This fall, we're launching our first plant-based leather loafers—the result of months of dedicated R&D to meet Wydr's standards.

 

At Wydr Studios, leather isn’t just a material—it’s part of our legacy of quality, comfort, and design-forward thinking. Whether you choose genuine or plant-based, you're stepping into footwear that’s made with purpose and passion
