CAVAL
Asymmetrical sneakers
CAVAL is a young French brand, created in 2017 by three friends: Achille, Benoît and Simon. CAVAL sneakers are far from resembling the classic white sneakers that we see everywhere. The brand advocates difference and originality with a unique concept: offering pairs of asymmetrical sneakers . They therefore play with the design, colors and shape of the inserts to create mismatched pairs : the left sneaker is different from the right.
As the founders of CAVAL say so well: “You have two feet, so why settle for two identical sneakers?”
The game of 7 differences
A little dive into childhood: we've all played this game of finding 7 differences in two images that seem identical, right? Well, each pair of CAVAL sneakers hides 7 differences, once the pair is on your feet, you can have fun working on your sense of observation and detail!

European manufacturing
Since its launch, CAVAL has designed its sneakers 100% in the European Union . This is a guarantee of quality and respect for working conditions, with European standards being among the strictest in the world.
The raw materials come mainly from Italy , but also from Spain . The manufacturing, meanwhile, is entrusted to a workshop in Portugal with recognized traditional know-how.
Quality sneakers
In addition to being original and stylish , CAVAL sneakers stand out for their top quality and durability.

To ensure sneakers that last over time, the founders of CAVAL chose to sew the sole to the upper . In general, the soles of sneakers are simply glued to the upper and after a short time, they already start to come off. By sewing the soles, the lifespan of the sneakers is much longer.
This is also one of the reasons why CAVAL chose to have its sneakers manufactured in Portugal. This country has real expertise in the field of footwear, and high-precision know-how, essential for the manufacture of CAVAL sneakers. Indeed, the unique details of each pair require working with conscientious craftsmen who have an eye for detail: between the seams, the embroidery, the markings, the eyelets... All the finishes must be perfect.
In total, 40 steps are necessary to make a pair of CAVAL sneakers from A to Z. The founders have set up quality control with the manufacturing workshop so that each pair sold is perfectly compliant with their requirements.
CAVAL, eco-responsible sneakers
In addition to favoring European know-how, CAVAL uses eco-responsible materials as much as possible:
- The inner lining of the CAVAL is made of OEKO-TEX microfibre which ensures that no chemical agents harmful to health and the environment have been added during the manufacture of the textile.
- The laces are made of organic cotton . This guarantees production without harmful chemicals to protect the soil and farmers.

- The CAVAL soles are made from 40% recycled rubber and the brand is working to manufacture 100% recycled soles from used CAVAL.
- The boxes are made of recycled cardboard. They will soon evolve to also become shipping packaging to avoid over-packaging.
- CAVAL also innovates to offer alternatives without animal leather . It is therefore the CAVAL vegan sneakers collection that you find here at Zebra Vegan Shop .
The brand responds as best as possible to the growing demands of consumers who wish to limit animal materials and are increasingly turning towards ethical and ecological materials .
CAVAL vegan sneakers are made either from PETA-certifiedapple leather or from corn-based faux leather.
A committed brand
CAVAL pushes its human commitment and solidarity even further and wishes to promote differences by showing that they are a strength.
The brand is a partner of Handicap International and donates €1 to them for each pair of sneakers sold.
Handicap International promotes the social inclusion of people with disabilities.
Zebra Vegan Shop is proud to reference such a beautiful brand, beautiful both for its ethical values and for its uniquely styled vegan sneaker models.
