A LITTLE ABOUT TAKKIES
Careful Hands Make Takkies Here
SIMPLE NATURAL DESIGN
About our sneaker shop
Good sneakers should be kind to your feet, the ocean and the people who make them.
Takkies began on Beach Road in Muizenberg, where a few friends wanted a pair of sneakers that did not cost the earth. We started with hemp and recycled yarn, then added cork and natural rubber soles.
Today we make small batches, repair what we can and pack orders in paper. Every pair is tested on the sand, the pavement and the mountain paths around Cape Town before it reaches you.

Our story and some facts
We started Takkies in a small garage in Muizenberg, after years of surfing in worn out shoes. Today every pair is made with hemp, cork and recycled materials.
