Shoes for an active lifestyle


From the durable, breathable upper to the long-lasting sole, every Askel shoe is built from wood fiber recovered from Finland's forest industry. Comfort you can feel, materials you can trust.


Recovered wood fiber

Our uppers and soles are made with wood fiber recovered from Finland’s forest industry, not from newly cut trees.

Glide — the daily-mileage shoe

Built for easy runs, recovery days, and racking up volume in comfort rather than chasing pace.

Optimal for
Running, All-terrain

This info tells you the ideal use for the shoe. But the shoe is also suitable for other uses like walking, hiking, etc. Don't be too strict on this.

Lacing
Standard

Standard lacing is the most common lacing method. It is easy to adjust and provides a good fit.

Heel to toe
6 mm / 7 mm

The heel to toe drop is the difference in height between the heel and the toe of the shoe. Higher drop transfers the load more from your ankles to your knees and hip. Women's value first, men's second.

Weight
245 g / 290 g

Weight varies between sizes. In this value we use the weight of the shoe in size 8 for women and size 10 for men. Women's value first, men's second.

Forgot I had them on

I bought the Glide for easy runs and ended up wearing them all day too. Light, breathable, and still comfortable after 200 miles.

Solid under the bar

The Squat keeps my feet flat and stable on heavy lifts. No wobble, no slipping, and they look good enough to wear home from the gym.

— Miko Luka

Trail to tarmac

My route goes from forest paths to city streets, and the Traverse handles both. Good grip on wet roots, and still smooth on asphalt.

Comfort that lasts

After six months of daily wear, the insole still feels like day one. I’d like more color options, but I’m already eyeing a second pair.

— Jonas Myers

Feels good, does good

I wanted shoes that don’t cost the earth. Knowing they’re made with recovered wood fiber is a bonus. The comfort is why I keep wearing them.
