The bottom of these shoes used to be tires that rolled around on an axle that was connected to a car. Given the inherent nature of use like this, some of the shoe bottoms (i.e. tires) are marked up a little. Sure, we buff them out and put them on the bottom of the shoes, but they still show wear. If you get them and you decide you can't deal with the past life of that particular car tire, we'll take them back, as long as they are in new and unworn condition.
These shoes contain:
- Bamboo is one of the most plentiful and quick growing plants (some bamboo plants grow up to 4 feet in a day!) that also has great anti-microbial properties. Remarkably, bamboo is grown without the use of pesticides... so in some senses, it's organic without the certification. We use bamboo since it helps keep smells away and also because it is so plentiful, which makes it a renewable resource.
- 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.
- Recycled Car Tires - Have you ever thought about what happens to car tires once they've completed their useful life on the wheels of your car? Best case scenario is that the tires get recycled... worse case scenario is they wind up in a landfill or worse, incinerated. We've figured out a way to take used car tires and turn them into the outsoles of our shoes. Besides being super durable and grippy, we're extending the life of a material that is otherwise considered trash. And did we mention we can make 6 pairs of men's size 9 shoes from a single car tire? Pretty nifty, right?
- Hemp is a plant that grows like a weed all over the world. While it is illegal to grow in the United States (even though you can't smoke it!), it is one of the most durable, breathable, and heat retaining fibers in the world. Many farmers in China plant Hemp around the perimeter of their fields since it acts like a natural pest repellant. And because of this, most hemp is not treated with any pesticides or herbicides. We use hemp in our sneakers because it is soft, keeps your feet cool on warm days and warm on the colder ones, and also because it is breathable... the perfect mix of qualities for something you put on your foot.
