The warm days are finally here and so is almost everyone's favorite season, summer. This year, make the most of this season like no one else and choose the right footwear for every occasion .
The footwear you wear to go to the beach or for a walk has never had as much impact as it does now. Climate change is warning us to consume responsibly , in order to reduce our ecological footprint and preserve the planet for future generations.
If we want to continue having summer, we need to change our consumption habits, and starting to buy environmentally friendly shoes is something that makes a difference.
We suggest eight models to make your summer sustainable.
1 – RC ESPADRILLE WASH STONE
These espadrilles are from RC Shoes, a Portuguese brand that produces vegan men's shoes.
Its composition includes materials of natural and recycled origin and one of the materials we can find is recycled cotton . This material results from the reuse of fabric scraps that would otherwise end up in landfills and, in this way, are reintroduced into the manufacturing process.
2- MYSNEAKER RAFIA BEIGE
From the exterior to the sole, we find several recycled and naturally-derived materials. The lining is made of bamboo and recycled plastic, and the insole combines Bio-Corn microfiber (which has more than 50% corn in its composition) and foam made from recycled waste and natural resources . On the exterior, we also find materials of plant origin, such as a fabric with 55% natural cotton .
3- LEWIS SILVER
This model from No Saints is not just another pair of sneakers, but the path to an ecological future!
Its exterior is made of piñatex , a material made from pineapple leaf waste and which has a great advantage: it does not use any toxic chemicals in its composition.
With these sneakers you are contributing to a world with less waste and less pollution .
4 - MYESPADRILLE HEMP GREY
What's summer without espadrilles?
The exterior of this Lazuli model is made from 50% cannabis fabric !
Cannabis is a material with many qualities, such as its ease of cultivation, rapid growth and the fact that it does not require pesticides. These factors make it a sustainable and renewable option.
5- CELESTIAL OCEAN
Did you know that by purchasing Skizo's Ocean Celeste, you are helping to clean the oceans? We'll explain how!
Skizo is a brand that uses plastic collected from the oceans in the composition of its models. For each pair of Skizo, 36 plastic bottles are reused.
6- MYWEDGE TWIX MULTICOLOR
These sandals from Lazuli are a great option for your trips to the beach!
With a simple design, they have a natural rubber and cork insole covered in Bio-Corn microfiber . This microfiber combines organic elements such as corn and recycled fibers. The fact that it has more than 50% corn in its composition makes it 30% biodegradable.
7- J-Trainer Grey
J-Unk models are made with the purpose of lasting as long as possible through a selection of quality materials !
An interesting fact about this sneaker is that its sole and pull tab are made from recycled fire-damaged hoses that would otherwise go to landfills.
8- VASIL GREY
Their sophisticated and practical design make these unisex sandals a versatile option and ideal for hot days!
Its exterior is made of vegan nubuck microfiber: a sustainable , water-resistant material that is cruelty-free . We also highlight its sole, which is made with rubber from recycled tires .
