​Neeman's, an Indian start-up based in Hyderabad, Telangana, has launched India’s first range of men’s shoes made with natural merino wool fiber.
 

Neeman’s has collaborated with Woolmark for developing the Merino Wool fabric used for this shoe collection.
 
The men’s shoe collection will have lightweight joggers, sneakers, and loafers. The shoes have been priced at Rs 8,000 (approx $110) and will be sold exclusively on their online platform.

Neeman’s founder Taran Chhabra said, “Neeman’s is here to create shoes that look good, feel good and are good for the planet. We wanted to move away from the norm of using synthetic fibers in shoes to natural sources to preserve the environment and bring truly comfortable shoes in India.”
 
Cofounder and director of operations, Amar Preet, added, “The journey with Neeman’s has been very thrilling for me so far. The question we were pondering with is if we look for better, nutritional and organic food, why don’t we look for similar qualities in our shoes. This led us to the path of natural sources and Merino Wool is the one we selected because of all its amazing benefits.”
