A different, emerging artist designs every BucketFeet shoe; in turn, BucketFeet promotes each artist, buys all artwork up front, and pays royalties for each shoe sold from an artist's design. Because there's an artist behind every shoe, every product they sell has a story waiting to be shared with their customers. They have built a global artist network that drives both product creation and disrupts the traditional customer acquisition model.

They now have over 30,000 artists in more than 100 countries, and sell their shoes through direct retail, and through their leading international distribution partners in 25 countries. Co-founders Aaron Firestein and Raaja Nemani met while traveling through South America. Their shared love of travel is integral to the BucketFeet philosophy: BucketFeet produces insanely comfortable, eye-catching shoes—colorful creations which have sparked countless conversations and logged thousands upon thousands of miles.
