Official Baliston® Footwear | Sustainable Smart Shoe

Baliston by Starck sustainable footwear is designed with an embedded proprietary sensor module which analyzes the way the wearer moves to provide personalized insights and recommendations that increase understanding of their body to reduce fatigue, back pain, and injury risk. Additionally, Baliston shoes analyze user’s walking DNA and provide fitted insoles that uplift their extreme comfort to a personalized experience. A one size fits one.

Baliston by Starck sustainable footwear is made from just five biobased recyclable materials and designed to monitor the deterioration of their own cushioning allowing every shoe produced by the company to be collected at the end of its life and to be 100% recycled. The goal is to ensure that Baliston shoes will not be a part of the 25 billion pairs produced every year and scrapped somewhere polluting the planet.

The brand is taking sustainability to another level where the manufacturers become responsible for what they produce - mapping the future of tech-integrated fashion. This inaugural collection of Baliston by STARCK will be limited to an exclusive 5,000 members.
