Established in 1995 Human Shoes is an Australian owned brand that is known by our iconic stick man figure logo.
Surfing, Bodyboarding & Skate are Human ‘s heritage, sponsoring many board riders and international competitions over the years as well as being the major sponsor in the Human SharkIsland Challenge — an international bodyboarding competition in Cronulla (the southern beaches of Sydney) that attracts riders from all over the world.

Gary Cole, Human ‘s owner whose family has been in the footwear industry for three generations, saw the benefits of manufacturing in Vietnam over 30 years ago and over this time he has established a fantastic working relationship with many factories there. He has also set up an office in Vietnam employing a very efficient office manager, office staff, shipping clerks, pattern makers and our own QC’s for each factory to ensure not only high quality product but that it is also made in a timely manner with the best materials available. Having this office in Vietnam also allows Human to have a convenient showroom in this dynamic part of Asia.
