In 1991 Oetzi, the iceman was discovered in the Otzal Alps wearing the oldest shoes ever found dating back to 5300B.C. The shoes were made of deer skin stitched to a bear skin sole with an internal woven net filled with dried grass and moss for warmth and comfort.
Inspired by Oetzi's ingenuity and the oldest shoe EVER found, OTZ Shoes redesigned this iconic shoe incorporating today's trend, comfort and technology. Founded in 2009 in Malibu, California.

emphasis on comfort above all else — using high-end materials and innovative

comfort.
In terms of the
actual shoe — OTZ uses natural cork
technology that shapes to the contour of your feet. They offer four different
footbeds – CORKfit, CORKlite, CORKminimalist, and CORKlite Vegan – that champion
