Walk with Heart: Why Our Hoxton Red Heart Trainers Are Made to Love and Last

Hello Cocorosers 💗
It's easy to see why these Hoxton Red Heart trainers have become such a favourite. They're playful, happy and add a lot of love to your every step. With their bold red hearts and unbeatable comfort, they're built for movement and made to steal hearts. 💕
I was recently startled by an interesting statistic that challenges the common narrative, stating that SMEs are responsible for the majority of carbon emissions globally. As this week also marked Earth Day, I took a moment to reflect on this statistic and our sustainability journey, which I penned here.
As consumers, our choices matter. By choosing consciously and supporting purpose-driven brands, we can all help shape a better world and walk with heart.💗
Crafted with Care: Materials that Matter
What makes the Hoxton Red Heart trainers so special goes far beyond their eye-catching design. Each pair is crafted from beautifully soft, high-quality leather that's made to move with you, not against you. The supple leather upper moulds to your foot over time, while the cushioned footbeds offer exceptional comfort from the first wear.
They’re not only stylish and comfortable, but also easy to pack for getaways, work trips, or everyday adventures.
Handcrafted in Small Batches for a Lighter Footprint
Our trainers are made in small, artisanal batches. This is an intentional choice that reflects our commitment to sustainability and quality.
This slower, handcrafted process reduces overproduction and minimises waste, allowing us to focus on every detail, from stitching to sole bonding. It also means each pair is carefully checked for consistency and comfort, ensuring a longer-lasting product and less need for frequent replacements.
By choosing small-batch production over mass manufacturing, we also cut down on excess energy use and lower our environmental impact at every step.
Walking the Talk on Sustainability
At Cocorose London, sustainability isn’t an afterthought. It’s embedded in everything we do.
From using recycled packaging and planting trees for every online order, to offering a shoe recycling scheme for worn pairs, we’re always working on ways to do better.
Love Your Shoes, Make Them Last
Caring for your trainers not only keeps them looking fresh, it also significantly extends their lifespan.
Here are some quick care tips:
• Clean gently using a soft brush or damp cloth after each wear
• Condition the leather occasionally to maintain softness and prevent drying or cracking
• Store them properly, avoiding damp areas, and use shoe trees or tissue paper to maintain shape
• Rotate your shoes regularly to give them time to breathe and recover between wears
By maintaining your footwear, you're participating in a circular, mindful fashion cycle — one that values quality over quantity.
More Than Just a Shoe: Community & Charitable Impact
When you slip on your Hoxton Hearts, you're stepping into something much bigger than a pair of trainers. You're supporting a small business with heart — a team that cares deeply about people and planet.
Our partnerships with Ecologi and The Honeypot Children’s Charity allow us to give back with every pair sold. We’re proud to be a brand that contributes to environmental restoration and social good, while offering products that truly last.
And we’d love to hear from you. Where will your Hoxton Hearts take you next? Share your stories with us on Instagram or tag us in your journey. Let’s continue to walk with heart, together. 💌
With love,
Janan & Team Cocorose xx

ALWAYS MADE BY HAND
Every stitch, every fold, every detail is handmade with care and love. By choosing slow fashion, small-batch production and circular design, we're doing things differently — on purpose. 💚
