Proof Eyewear was founded in 2010 by 3 brothers Tanner, Brooks, and Taylor in Idaho, but its roots can be traced back to 1954 when their grandfather, Bud Dame, started a sawmill. The brothers grew up with sawdust in their veins working in the family mill and exploring Idaho. The idea to start the brand surfaced when founder, Brooks, was building up the idea of a eco-friendly wood consumer product that could give back.

Since then, the company has continued to grow and expand, going from garage to global in a few short years, and becoming pioneers in sustainable eyewear. We provide products handcrafted from sustainable materials including sustainably-sourced wood, biodegradable cotton-based acetate and recycled aluminum. Proof stands firm on three principles: heritage, sustainability, and giving back.

Proof embraces the idea of being global citizens by doing good around the world. The bird logo represents the belief, “Everyone has wings to fly, some just need a little help.” Proof's efforts in helping others have affected people from Idaho to the other side of the world.

Today, Proof is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, USA and operate from our Proof Flagship Store in downtown Boise, and our products can found online and in stores locally and worldwide.
