The 5R Story
Hey hello, my name is Sussi Porsborg and I am the founder and shoemaker of 5R Footwear.
Mid way through 2022 I decided it was time to merge my eclectic passions together and build a shoemaking business that was adhered to the principles of the circular economy.
The idea of 5R Footwear was born.
