100% made in Portugal. Also those soles are epic.

Did the freightliner carrying the plastic trash shoes to port sink or something?
After reading the headline I thought it’s about Shoes that are made from plastic trash are now found in the ocean. I was rather relieved after reading the text :-)
Give it time.
Hi from Portugal, my wife and I have a couple pairs of these. Super comfortable, and you’re helping pay to clean Portuguese beaches!
Couldn’t find a pair i liked in my size
Ok? Is that product biodegradable? Or if it gets put in the ocean does it become the 2nd generation material for these shoes?
It’s up cycled trash. So it help reduce the use of virgin plastic. But it’s only slightly better than plastic shoes
Yeah, it’s a weird concept that I’m not sure how I feel about it…
On the one hand, I’m paying towards something which makes cleaning the ocean more cost effective
On the other hand, when I’m done with the shoes… do I… burn them?
What do you do with your shoes in general when you’re done with them? I don’t understand how that process would be any different with these shoes. The point is only that they are made from plastic found at the beaches of Portugal and organic material (cotton). When you buy them, you use them just like any other shoes.
