FOOTWEAR WALK THE TALK
What better way to reduce your carbon footprint than to walk in sustainable shoes that are made by brands doing their bit for the environment and society.
1. ALLBIRDS A New Zealand-based brand, Allbirds uses natural, renewable materials to make the “world’s most comfortable shoe,” with shoelaces made from recycled water bottles and SweetFoam™ cushioned soles made from sugarcane. The shoes’ upper is made out of certified superfine Merino wool or TENCEL™ Lyocel, a tree fiber that helps reduce its carbon footprint. allbirds.com
2. TOMS For every pair of shoes bought, TOMS donates a pair to underprivileged kids. It also provides clean drinking water, eye care services, and safe birth kits around the globe. Its popular slip-ons are made from vegan and sustainable materials like natural hemp, organic cotton, and recycled polyester. toms.com
The idea behind a pair of VEJA shoes is “standing up with one foot in design and the other in social responsibility.” While its soles are crafted from rubber consciously harvested from the Amazon, its uppers are made from organic cotton.
