About Us

Rooted in Earth, Designed for Motion

At Tamalpais, we believe that design should move with you—never against you. Inspired by the timeless silhouette of Mount Tamalpais and the poetic minimalism of nature, we create shoes and essentials that combine visual calm with durable comfort. 

Every product we release is crafted for those who walk with intention and express themselves with quiet strength. We’re not just a brand—we’re a way of treading more lightly through the world.

Our Craft

Each pair of Tamalpais shoes and every accessory we create is made with sustainability in mind. From flexible rubber soles to breathable cotton canvas, our materials are selected to respect the planet and support daily life. Our signature visual language—neutral tones, abstract geometry, and sun-baked colors—makes each piece easy to wear, easy to love. We craft with care so that you can walk with ease.

Our Community

Tamalpais is made for thinkers, wanderers, creatives, and all who seek stillness in motion. Our community is as diverse as the paths they take—but we’re united by a common idea: to wear pieces that feel natural, meaningful, and made to last. Whether you’re heading downtown or off the map, we design gear that moves with your rhythm—and reminds you where you came from.
