OUR INTENTIONS
Our intentions are to make an active effort to increase our commitment to the world we live in by using materials. processes, and practices that are more sustainable and respectful of the environment.
STEPS FORWARD
Our goal is to minimize any negative impact a product could have on the environment by creating a more sustainable product lifestyle. To achieve this we’re working towards implementing the usage of recyclable materials in our footwear from the outsole to the hangtag.
THE JOURNEY TO MAKING BETTER THINGS IN A BETTER WAY IS A LONG ONE, AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
HERE ARE SOME OF OUR PROUDEST MOMENTS THIS YEAR.
MATERIALS
Recycled cotton, recycled polyester, thermoplastic rubber (TPR) and recycled paper are some examples of what we envision when creating a sustainable shoe.
SOLES4SOulS
Thanks to our friends at Soles4Souls, our Ground Up shoes have continued to find new life all around the world, helping communities in need. Learn more here.
RECYCLED PACKAGING
We reimagined shoe packaging that uses 80% post-consumer recycled cardboard that serves as a shoebox and a design takeaway for our Ground Up customers.
TRANSPARENCY
But it’s not just about making sustainable product, we want to be transparent with our partners and customers. We understand the importance of providing you with information on how our product is made, what materials it’s made of, and where it’s sourced.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We collaborate with our factories to positively impact their workers and the communities in which they operate. Our core factories follow the highest standards, achieving top tier ratings by the best in class brands including Disney, Warner Brothers, Budweiser and Coca-Cola. We are constantly communicating with our manufacturers on how we can reduce our carbon footprint.
