About us

RALFY'S

Welcome to RALFY’S, the home of the N1 – the world’s first shoe that combines the comfort of a slipper and the looks of a sneaker. We created RALFY’S to give you one kind of shoes that keeps up with every version of you: the relaxed, the adventurous and the always‑on‑the‑go.

And we’re even more than footwear. We’re a reminder that comfort and confidence can go everywhere together. When you believe in you, the world opens up and suddenly challenges turn into opportunities and bold steps feel natural. We’re convinced that self‑belief puts you in harmony with yourself and unlocks achievements you never thought possible.

Our Mission

We believe that when your feet are free and comfortable, you’re more confident to chase what matters. Our mission is to blend slipper‑like coziness, sneaker‑grade performance and planet‑minded materials into footwear that lets you believe in you every single step.

Our Story

RALFY’S started when our founder Ralf Schuering did not find a shoe the was as comfortable as a slipper but looked as good as a sneaker, despite selling more than 5 million pairs over his decade long career in selling footwear internationally. 

With dozens of prototypes created, partnering with experts in the field and determining interest form potential distribution partners, RALFY'S was born in 2024.

In March 2025 we took the idea to Kickstarter. Thanks to 495 amazing backers from 44 countries, the campaign hit its funding goal within the first 7 hours and closed at 1076 % of target. That vote of confidence fuels everything we do today.

What makes RALFY'S N1 special

  • Hands‑free Slip‑in – no laces, no bending, just step in and go.
  • Easy‑Clean Design – rinse, wipe, repeat. Ready for the couch again in minutes.
  • Sugarcane Cushioning – light, comfortable and with structural comfort fit
  • Swappable Color Inserts – 4 shell colors × 7 insert colors = 28 fresh looks. Replace the insert, not the whole shoe.

Designed for the Planet

By choosing renewable sugarcane foams, recycled cotton mesh and a modular construction, every pair of RALFY’S N1 keeps material use low and extends product life. Better for your closet, better for the earth.
