MATERIALS
+ Natural Leather: Sourced from local and environmentally-conscious tanneries, our natural leather is not only durable and breathable but also adapts to your foot's shape. We use Leather Working Group-certified materials, emphasizing reduced environmental impact.
+ Soy Protein: Our innovative sneaker soles blend thermoplastic rubber with soy protein, improving biodegradability. This material choice not only reduces waste but also cuts down on carbon emissions.
SUSTAINABILITY + ETHICS
Ethical standards are at our core; our manufacturing prioritizes worker safety, above market wages, and humane treatment. We utilize small-batch production for efficient inventory management and waste reduction. Origo sources materials predominantly from North America and manufactures near our warehouse to minimize travel distances. Our eco-conscious approach extends to packaging, utilizing garden-compostable materials and innovative kraft shippers. Each pair sold also supports Amazon reforestation through our partnership with One Tree Planted.
