Our Product Materials
We’re on a journey to explore how being better day-by-day can start to change the world. Here are some of the plant-based materials that we use to build our products.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus trees are amazing, they create a clean closed-loop process and provide the fibers for our amazing mesh, using 95% less water than traditional cotton and a carbon footprint 33% lower than virgin nylon.
Sugarcane
Our fully renewable EVA foam comes from sugar cane - irrigated with rainwater and removing carbon from the atmosphere during growth, which makes this our soft and bouncy superhero.
Castor beans
Castor bean oil helps us increase the natural content in our insoles and offers a comfortable alternative to the synthetic materials normally used.
Natural rubber
Our FSC Certified natural rubber ensures sustainable sourcing at every step of the supply chain, protecting deforestation and upholding biodiversity.
