Looking for a set of stylish yet sustainable sneakers? Look no further than Tropic Feel, this Barcelona based company was inspired to create a line of eco-friendly sneakers after an adventure through Thailand resulted in a pair of blown out kicks and the harsh realization that tourism and plastic pollution were seriously detrimental to the health and beauty of the amazing Thailand beaches.
The team at Tropic Feel has been backed by over 70,000 supporters through Kickstarter campaigns to fund their water resistant, sustainable sneakers (they have bags and sandals too) that focus on environmentally friendly materials, quality workmanship and a healthy dose of giving back. In fact 3.5 recycled plastic bottles are re-invented each time they create a new pair of Canyon all terrain sneakers.
What we love about the TropicFeel sustainable sneakers
- Carbon Neutral: The company is working towards becoming carbon neutral by looking closely at every step of their supply chain and making improvement where they can.
- Sustainable materials: Tropic Feel has partnered with amazing companies Cosmo and Bloom Foam to use recycled and eco-friendly materials to create their products.
- Quality over Quantity: The babies are built to last. These all-terrain sneakers are great for the city and for the outdoors, so you can pack one shoe for your next trip. Plus they have great reviews on Trust Pilot!
- Giving back: 1% of sales are donated to protect wildlife parks around the world.
- Proper packaging: Your new sneaks will arrive in packaging made from natural Cassava materials rather than harmful single-use plastic.
