What are ecological shoes?

When we talk about ecological footwear we are referring to a type of footwear that has to meet a series of requirements to be able to wear this label in a guaranteed way. First of all, it has to be made with products that can be recycled, that is, that are sustainable and non-polluting.

This includes the soles of the footwear, the manufacture of the textile part and also the dyes and other products that may have been used to give color or to join the different pieces. With this, we could think that we already have ecological footwear and in a way it is so, but for some, the term goes further.

For many, the livestock and meat industry is the least ecological that currently exists and to blame for many of the environmental problems. Therefore, they refuse to consume products from animals. To this can be added a pure vegan philosophy that implies that there are other alternatives, no animal should be used for the consumption of its meat or skin.

Therefore, in the elaboration of this purest ecological footwear there would not be products as classic in the manufacture of footwear as different types of leather can be. But that does not prevent them from being beautiful, comfortable and very attractive fashion footwear. The alternatives that currently exist guarantee this.

If we can highlight a type of ecological footwear we would surely have to point out the sneakers, a type of sport garment that both men and women wear alike and that are very successful all year round. For this reason, they are surely the most demanded type of vegan footwear.

The shoes are used by everyone, they are normally made of textile materials that are not associated with leather and their designs are easy to make with all materials. For this reason, both those who have a vegan lifestyle and those who simply worry about buying clothes that are as sustainable as possible can be aimed at wearing them.

If unisex models are also made, success is guaranteed because they are easy to combine, all-purpose shoes that are perfect to give to any family member, since their neutral appearance pleases practically everyone. To the older ones, for its design without fanfare and to the younger ones for its eco philosophy with which they connect perfectly.
