Where we are
Between 2019 and 2021, Mestrae was hit by an unpaid grant, the pandemic, and severe flooding — each one compounding the last. We lost our manufacturing facility, our inventory, and years of work. Rebuilding has been slow and personal. But we are still here, and we are doing right by everyone who believed in us. All affected customers will be refunded by June 2026. The shop reopens November 1. Step by step.

The Shift
“Footwear hasn’t evolved as far as women have.”
Beauty doesn’t have to be painful. Comfort doesn’t have to be boring. Mestrae was built on the belief that with engineering, anyone can build better. This is our manifesto — and an open invitation.
