THE LECHAL INITIATIVE Our footwear has evolved into a solution for anyone who wants to walk the Lechal way. But it started out of a simple impulse to use technology to help the visually-impaired navigate their worlds better. So we thought it only fitting that part of the proceeds from the sale of each pair of Lechal footwear goes towards subsidising a pair for someone who is visually-challenged and not able to purchase one at full price.
