About us

Peter and Norbert, the two owners of Manimal, have known each other for ten years, and with years of work, experience, and shared passion, they created the world where you, too, can find a home today.

A commitment to a healthy lifestyle, conscious decisions, and sustainability has provided us with a foundation that goes beyond selling products: we want to represent a lifestyle in which the body and nature work in harmony. We, too, have come a long way to discover the true power of natural movement.

Over the years, it has become increasingly clear to us that our bodies and feet inherently know how to move. The modern shoes and clothing we wear daily often hinder this natural movement, restricting it. People often don't realize how the seemingly comfortable but often rigid footwear affects our posture and movement.

While industries focus on fast consumption and fleeting trends, we chose a different path: we want to distribute products that support natural movement, respect our body's needs, and are made sustainably from natural materials.

Our mission is not just about selling a product but representing a mindset that helps people reconnect with their bodies and natural movement. The shoes we work with are not only stylish but provide real support for the feet and body, helping our walking return to the natural rhythm for which our bodies are most suited. We wanted to create a comprehensive system where, alongside products, we could use our expertise to help modern people live a fuller, healthier life and move freely. We believe in the power of community and that by joining forces with like-minded, dedicated people, we can create something significant in this world.

However, our story is about much more than just movement, as sustainability and the use of natural materials are essential to building a world that will be livable for future generations as well. In a world of fast fashion and disposable products, we focus on valuable, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly solutions. Our products are not only fashionable but are made in a truly sustainable way, designed for long life to support not just today’s but tomorrow’s world as well. This lifestyle is not just about what we wear on our feet—it’s a commitment to caring for our bodies and our environment. Our bodies are highly intelligent and can return to their roots if we allow them.

Rediscovering and respecting natural movement helps turn everyday motion into joy, enabling our bodies to function more freely, flexibly, and healthily. Instead of suppressing the natural rhythm of our bodies, we provide the opportunity to reconnect with and honor who we truly are. Our goal is to build a community that is based not just on products but on a sustainable, conscious lifestyle.

A community where the harmony between the body and nature is not just a choice but a way of life. A lifestyle that is not about fast consumption but long-term health, sustainability, and the joy of natural movement. Join us and discover the freedom of natural movement while keeping sustainability and environmental awareness in mind. Let’s build a life together where movement, health, and the environment are in harmony.
