'The Plant Shoe' is Made Out of Animal-Free, Sustainable Components
January 26, 2023 - By Colin Smith
'The Plant Shoe' is a new pair of sneakers from 'native shoes.' The main draw for this sneaker, as its name implies, is its plant-based composition which results in it being highly sustainable. Many of the ingredients that make up this shoe are biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable. The shoe boasts a beige and brown colorway.
The shoe itself is comprised of pineapple leaf, cotton, hemp, kenaf, natural latex, and more, all of which are purely plant-based materials. As a result of this, the shoe is difficult to manufacture and is only available in small batches, released periodically.
One pair of The Plant Shoe retails for $200 USD and is available in a number of sizes ranging from US size 8 to US size 13.
