Natural Rubber Outsole

Our outsole is made from natural rubber. Natural rubber or tree-derived rubber is considered eco-friendly. Harvesting and taking use of natural rubber has less impact on the environment. The rubber tree is a sustainable crop and helps maintain the global carbon balance in the atmosphere.

Natural rubber is made a milky white liquid called latex. It is found in certain plants when you cut into them. There are more than 200 plants in the world that can produce latex. The most productive plant is the Pará rubber tree.
