Description

All etiko shoes 30% Special Discount automatically applied at checkout. No Packaging/Box.

Certified Fairtrade, Organic Cotton and 100% Vegan.

Your favourite sneaker styles made radically different then any other. The soles are made of natural rubber tapped fresh from a rubber tree. The Organic Cotton canvas and laces are hand stitched by Certified Fair Trade employees. Etiko use zero animal glues and non toxic dyes.

Materials:

• The Sole: It’s actually all natural, made from sustainable latex and certified by the FSC (which means the rubber was actually tapped from a tree in a well managed and growing forest instead of being made from petro-chemicals like most other ‘rubber’ products).
• Canvas and Laces: which are made with cotton which has been certified both organic (GOTS) and fairtrade (FLO). Next stop are the dyes used on the canvas …they are PCP and AZO free. Finally we even put some thought into the shoe box, yes we know it looks cool but it’s actually made from post-consumer waste.

End of life:
If your sneakers are still in good condition at the end of their life with you, consider donating them to a local charity. Otherwise, they can be disposed of in your rubbish bin and will naturally break down over time.

What’s great about this product:

• 100% Vegan. No animal glues (common in most footwear) or leather inserts.
• Made in an accredited fairtrade factory and we pay a social premium to both the rubber producers in Sri Lanka and to the shoe stitchers in Pakistan.
