Quality and Testing Centre

Proof before claim.

Every outward-facing sentence at Neat Feet rests on something we can show. This page is where we show it: materials, chemical testing, performance testing, manufacturing and craft, each standing on its own evidence.

01 · Material100% animal leather, everywhere except the sole

Uppers and linings are chrome-free tanned leather and suede. Each style has its own material sheet, listed below.

02 · Chemical testingEU REACH / SVHC reports

Materials are tested against the EU list of Substances of Very High Concern. We publish the report number, scope, standard and date per style. One report never covers a style it did not test.

03 · Product performanceSGS flex and abrasion tests

Sole flex cycles and abrasion resistance tested by SGS. Official test names are as they appear on the reports.

04 · Manufacturing100% Made in Taiwan

Every pair is cut, stitched and finished in Taiwan. No offshore assembly.

05 · CraftThirty years of shoe development

Our factory has been developing children’s lasts since 1996: last, materials, stitching, process. Film to follow.

Reports by style

Report numbers, scopes and dates are added as each certificate is issued. A style without a listed report has not been tested yet and we will not imply otherwise.
