For over forty years, VKC has been one of India’s most trusted and affordable footwear brands, recognized for quality, comfort, and innovation. Through Zero Footmarks, VKC advances sustainability by launching India’s first organized footwear take-back program.
This initiative allows customers to return old shoes of any brand or condition when purchasing a new pair at select VKC partner stores or online. Returned footwear is collected, sorted, and processed for recycling or eco-friendly disposal with verified sustainability partners.
The program is active online and in select stores, encouraging responsible shoe returns and supporting a cleaner environment. By giving back to nature, we help protect the ground we walk on.
Zero Footmarks encourages everyone to become a responsible citizen by making conscious choices that protect nature. It motivates both adults and children to adopt sustainable habits early and to take part in positive environmental change.

Each year, millions of shoes are discarded in India, with most ending up in landfills for decades. Through Zero Footmarks, VKC offers a straightforward solution to reduce footwear waste and support a circular economy. Customers can return used shoes of any brand when purchasing new VKC footwear. These shoes are collected, sorted, and processed for recycling or responsible disposal by verified sustainability partners. This initiative encourages individuals and families to adopt sustainable habits and responsible consumption from an early age.
As an affordable footwear brand, VKC has consistently supported local retailers and small business owners. Through the Zero Footmarks initiative, this support expands by enabling dealers and retailers to participate in the sustainability movement. Partner stores act as collection points for used footwear and help raise awareness about eco-friendly shoe disposal in India. By joining the program, retailers encourage their communities to adopt responsible consumption practices, making sustainability accessible at the local level. VKC’s extensive retail network ensures that sustainability reaches every region, customer, and home across India.
VKC makes sustainability more rewarding. When customers return their old shoes through the Zero Footmarks program, they get special discounts of 5% to 50% on new VKC products. These benefits help make sustainable shopping affordable and encourage more people to choose eco-friendly products. Retail partners also benefit from increased customer engagement and stronger brand loyalty through participation in India’s first footwear recycling program.
Whether you are a customer, retailer, student, or eco-enthusiast, your involvement matters.
Return your old shoes, encourage your community to do the same, and be part of India’s first sustainable footwear initiative.
Together, we can make sustainability a way of life.
