Jax & Bard Shoes Sustainability Actions

Handcrafted footwear in Maine

Jax & Bard is a shoe company founded by Jackie Lindstedt in 2009. The company is owned by women who design footwear specifically with women in mind. With over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, Lindstedt has been able to focus on creating footwear from natural materials while maintaining a refreshing design and key comfort.

Made-to-order custom shoes

The design process is highly personalized. Jax and Bard work closely with each client to ensure the shoes not only fit perfectly but also reflect the wearer’s style. Each pair is made-to-order, meaning no two shoes are exactly the same.

Uses sustainable materials

Jackie carefully and strategically prints out a design onto sustainable fabric and then places the fabric on clogs or an espadrille base sourced by a local company. As is customary, the wood used for all Jax & Bard clogs is sustainable. They are made from carefully selected remnants of another process, reducing waste and our carbon footprint.

Puffin Sandal collaboration

Together we worked to develop the Puffin Sandal, named after the renowned Maine coast dweller. The Puffin Sandal is crafted with 100% recycled nylon and reclaimed wood. The Puffin Sandal upper uses Flowfold’s water-resistant outdoor performance fabric. Each yard of this specialty material recycles about ten plastic bottles and saves about one pound of carbon emissions.
