"Nature is a biologic system, that is complex, sophisticated and fragil, developed by our  Planet with joy, strategic and cleverly suported,  by the Sun, the Moon, the universe...     We must be conscious of this unusual privilege, and evolve toward favouring the species and technology, However, by the love of God. we must preserve what keeps us alive!     Begin with you. Take care  of your health and attitude. Self learn and think. You are a vital part of our Blue Star."

                                  In 1988 in Porto Alegre – RS – Brazil the Social Environment Movement VÁ A PÉ started, it was created by Yoguine, Tai Chi Chuan instructor, Cosmicbiologist and Environmentalist Margot Gonçalves (CRO-RS/TPD1952), acting with restrutured projects in the cities, with road systems for pedestrians, handicaps, cyclists and similars, public transportation and automobiles. Promotes wellness of life.

Trying to officialize our work as a Foundation VÁ A PÉ, which was impossible by brazilian legislation, because we should be subsidy from a big company or a large amount of money.

Our only option was  to become a company.

In 11/23/1990 we started the Environmental-Social VÁ A PÉ company comercializing t-shirts, baseballcaps and stickers with our slogan VÁ A PÉ – Living with the pleasures of life. Always looking out for the environment, social ethic actions and related products of healthy and life quality.

Two years later, after the opening of the Environmental-Social company. Beggining in Brazil and in the whole world the ONG’s (Organization Non-governamental), which certainly would fit better for the company to be registered and officialized. But everything was already running to be a company. So because of that nowadays we “are a ONG” that was born but kept being a company.

VÁ A PÉ ERGONOMIC SHOES is a environtmentally correct company, social ethics, scientific, healthy and natural.

Nowadays our products goals are the ERGONOMIC SHOES VÁ A PÉ, patented brazilian technologie, that has been marketed in a 100% organic material version using natural material with rubber TR recyclabe sole, cotton liner, latex foam and suitable for vegetarians.
