For Earth Day, we're thinking about a corner of the world that is very special to Tread & Butter: the 'montado' in Portugal. The montado, AKA the cork forest, is a beautiful place to visit and of course, produces renewable natural cork, which is the lifeblood of our company. As you can see in the images we've shared, our cork is carefully harvested, processed, ground up, and molded into our exquisite insole shapes. We're so grateful for this remarkable place and happy that our small company helps support and preserve the ecosystem of the cork forest. On Earth Day, we encourage everyone to think about how they can help preserve special places that provide so much value and beauty.

As winter approaches, are you pulling out your warmer hiking boots or skis, boots and poles?

Hiking in cooler weather? Thicker socks provide more insulation, but it’s also important to keep your feet dry, so carrying an extra pair of socks to change into is a good idea. Wear waterproof boots if you’ll be trekking through snow, and if you’ll be in very cold temperatures you might require boots with built-in insulation.

"I had injured my foot and had that injury for many weeks... unknowing that I wasn't getting that arch support I needed. In researching insole companies, I was so happy to have found Tread and Butter! I do my very best to live my life as zero waste and sustainably as possible, so finding these insoles was so relieving! I was cringing thinking I had to purchase heaps of plastic that would just end up in landfill eventually. It took no time for my injury to come back around to a healthy foot again, thanks to your insoles! Thank you for creating this company!" - Samantha L.

Even the best hiking shoes can become uncomfortable after 50 odd miles of walking over rough terrain, and insoles can really help under these circumstances.

Hiking can be a lot of fun and many people enjoy it, but choosing the right footwear is very important. Unlike regular walking around the city, hikes often cover uneven and rough terrain. The hiking
