Materials that matter

Every greenReActives® shoe on every foot represents plastic bottles that won’t end up in a landfill or the ocean.

Our soft, knit uppers are made from polyester spun from recycled PET plastic bottles. Our comfortable, moisture-wicking linings are made from 100% post-consumer recycled material. The shock-absorbing, breathable footbed that cradles your foot in comfort does it with 30% eco-friendly materials. Even our laces are made from 100% recycled plastics.

Sugarcane EVA

A sweet way to help clear the air

Our midsoles contain renewable, bio-based EVA that contains sugar cane resin. It’s light, flexible, and absorbs shocks well. Even better, sugar cane absorbs and locks in carbon from the atmosphere as it grows, helping to reduce greenhouse gases

All Leather, No Metal

Our genuine suedes are made responsibly, free of chromium and traditional tanning chemicals. So they’re soft to the touch and gentle on the Earth.

More Outside-the-Box Thinking

The box your shoes came in is the box they were shipped in – cutting down on weight and eliminating extra materials. They’re made of 100% recycled paper, using no glue or cement, and printed with water-based inks.
