What makes a shoe vegan?
In order to be considered a vegan show, it has to be made without the use of any animal products and these products cannot be tested on animals. Over the years, vegan products have grown in popularity as more consumers strive to live more sustainable lives and be more conscious about the brands they support.
Rothy’s shoes are made from sustainable and recycled materials. They are also designed to last longer, so you don’t have to replace them as often. When you wear through them, they can be recycled and not contribute to the landfill waste. Additionally, sustainable methods look into the long-term results of the entire process to promote balance everywhere, from the ecological footprint to the working lives of the people who work to provide our high-quality products.
The best vegan shoes are made from sustainable materials like recycled components. With Rothy's shoes, we divert bottles that would pollute the waterways and make them into innovative and beautiful styles, and our company is one of the world's most ethical shoe brands. We take our mission seriously from start to finish and provide community support in the manufacturing process as well as sustainable shoes and production methods.
Shoes made with natural materials—like our merino wool, hemp fiber, algae foam, and others—are safer and easier to wear.
So, shoes can be sustainable if made with the proper methods. Rothy's controls the entire manufacturing process, rewarding the customer with an environmentally friendly shoe. Rothy's takes environmentally friendly production and methods seriously every step of the way to make us one of the genuinely ethical shoe brands.
How are Rothy’s sustainable products made?
Rothy's accessories start as plastic bottles collected within 30 miles of the coastline of the world's oceans. We take the plastic bottles headed for the landfills or waterways and craft them into modern, comfortable styles.
Rothy's journey to creating the best vegan shoes starts at our factory. We were certified as a San Francisco Green Business in 2018. Rothy's became part of China's Green Textile Association in 2020 to further our commitment to creating sustainable shoes. Now, we'll achieve our zero-waste goals in 2022.
Our factory is 100% owned, meaning we have the most control over how we make our shoes. Precision-knitting technology reduces material waste by 30%. Then, artisans handcraft each shoe with the finishing touches, including our signature Rothy's logo.
