These shoes contain:
- Organic Cotton is cotton that is grown from seeds that have not been genetically modified and have been grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers that has been certified by a third party. We use organic cotton for lots of reasons. For one, we like the idea that the cotton that is being used in our shoes has a lineage that extends back as far as you can imagine. With all of the genetically modified plants that are popping up here and there, it's nice to know someone in a white coat hasn't been tinkering with a seed to make it more drought or pest resistant. Secondly, we like that the cotton hasn't been exposed to any herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. Call us crazy, but when you think about the way Nicorette works, it's scary to think about how some pesticide could be leeching into your skin. Third, we like that the people who grow and pick the cotton aren't being exposed to those same chemicals - in turn, we also like that these same chemicals aren't depositing themselves in the water table. Imagine if more people gave the idea thought... By supporting farmers that have decided to make this switch, you are helping to ensure that this thriving organic community will see that there is profit in organic. It's worth it!
- Natural Crepe Rubber - This is made from latex rubber...and it most easily identified by its sticky and crinkly surface. In order to make this type of rubber, natural latex rubber is passed through crepers (think of rolling pins) and cured.
- Water Based Cements - Wherever we can, we use water based cements. By incorporating these cements into our footwear, we're eliminating the use of petroleum based cements...not to mention the exposure to the people that put your shoes together. If you ever get a whiff of regular shoe cements, you'll understand what we mean.
- Felted Wool - Our felt comes from sheep. When they get their annual haircut, we collect the wool and wash it in super hot water to get all the fibers tangled and matted... this is how we make felt. It's about the same thing that happens when you put your wool sweater in the washing machine. We love using wool felt since it comes straight from the sheep. It's a super warm material that helps keep your feet cozy.
- Coconut - Besides containing something delicious, the outer shell of a coconut is a pretty tough material that is very similar to wood. Just think of the possibilities... We like to make the buttons we use in our shoes out of coconut. It's renewable and plentiful.
