Every year, Superfeet gives 1% of sales and over a thousand volunteer hours to organizations working to shape a strong foundation for a healthy future. Our Local Grants Program supports many non-profit organizations right here in the Pacific Northwest, home to Superfeet headquarters for more than 40 years.
