VEGAN MATERIAL
barefoot shoes made from vegan materials
Our range of vegan, sustainable barefoot shoes is constantly growing and demand shows us that we are on the right track!
Vegan is not just a trend and certainly not just a diet, it is a lifestyle. Anything of animal origin is not consumed. Foods such as meat, milk or cheese are taboo. But the vegan lifestyle does not only refer to diet. Cosmetics that have been tested on animals or that contain animal ingredients are also not used. But consumption extends to clothing. Vegans avoid anything made of wool, silk or leather. As the number of vegans increases, the demand for vegan shoes is also growing.
With our vegan barefoot shoes you can trust that nothing comes from animal sources.
Vegan shoes for women and men
When we started focusing on vegan barefoot shoes, we were surprised at what was possible without leather. We admit that we were very skeptical at first, after all, our shoes should be just as healthy, comfortable and durable as our non-vegan models.
We had always thought of vegan materials as artificial, non-breathable and short-lived! After having looked into the topic in depth, we are simply thrilled.
We have put the various vegan materials through their paces and selected the best for our shoes. We now have an impressive selection of vegan barefoot shoes for men and women, and we are constantly adding more. Just check back from time to time, and we are guaranteed to have the next vegan women's or men's shoe in our range.
materials for our vegan shoes
We use various vegan materials for our shoes. You will find detailed information about each model under the respective shoe description.
You can find these wonderful fabrics here:
Ökotex 100 fabric
The vegan fabric looks almost like suede and feels very soft and smooth. It is also breathable and has an antibacterial surface. The material has been certified by Oekotex 100 and is one of the most ecological, vegan fabrics for shoes.
cork
Cork has become one of the most popular natural materials in recent years. We use high-quality cork from Portugal, which comes from sustainable production, for our vegan shoes.
Cork is an ideal upper material for shoes because it is breathable, water-repellent and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
Piñatex
Piñatex is made from the cellulose fibre of pineapple leaves, a waste product of the pineapple industry. Normally the leaves are burned or left to rot on their own.
By producing Piñatex, pineapple farmers even have the opportunity to generate additional income from the waste product.
Piñatex is a particularly sustainable product because its production does not require additional resources such as land, water, electricity or fertilizers.
Piñatex can be used wherever leather is normally used. It is breathable, malleable and very durable, making it the ideal material for vegan shoes.
mesh fabric
For our airy summer shoes, we use vegan mesh fabric as the outer material combined with cotton on the inside. Both are wonderfully breathable and therefore perfect for the warmer days of the year.
