Since the textile industry is the second most polluting in the world and intensive farming is a plague for the planet, we chose to produce our sneakers in Italy, in a small shoe factory located in Marche region, using only low-impact and cruelty free materials:
In recent years, the amount of agri-food waste used to make sustainable products has gone from 0 to over 30 tons per month. Apple Skin is one of these, derived in part from the polymerization of apple peels and cores. 310 million new plastics are produced and placed on the market every year, and only 9% of this is recycled. This is why we have chosen to use recycled polyester for some components of our sneakers, such as the upper, the laces, the label, and the ribbon. The sole is also made up of 30% recycled rubber.
To define a "sustainable" material it is necessary that it has textile certifications guaranteeing this appellation, which is why we have chosen only certified materials.
ID.EIGHT it does not use materials of animal origin and is therefore classified VVV +, the best level of the ethical rating Animal Free Fashion designed by LAV
Inside the recycled paper shoe box you will also find a seed bomb, which is small ball made out of compost, flour and water into which seeds have been embedded. Plant it in a pot, or throw in a area of your city.
The envelope used for shipping is in compostable bioplastic.
In addition, our GLS courier joins the initiative think Green: bicycles and electric vehicles are used for the last mile and LNG (gas / methane) line vehicles for long distances.
In Italy about 16% of customers return their purchases because of wrong fit. Thank you for helping us reduce transport emissions, !
Our sneakers tend to run smaller to customers who usually wear two different sizes or an in-between size. If that is your case, we advise you to take the bigger size between the two.
Otherwise, you can compare the measurements in the table above with those provided by the brands you already wear. We do not recommend measuring your foot: it's a tricky method and can easily trip you up!
