Sustainable Men's Sneakers
Different models, colors, and designs for every occasion and taste
Whether minimalist, in a cool retro look, or as a trendy running variant: Sustainable sneakers are just as stylish as their conventional counterparts. Many shoe and fashion labels have embraced the topic of sustainability in recent years and offer a wide range of different models that are produced in an environmentally friendly manner. Their creations combine traditional techniques with fair trade textiles, making them two of the most important season-spanning themes.
What makes a sustainable sneaker
Most high-quality shoes are made entirely of leather, from the sole to the upper. However, there is also an increasing selection of vegan men's shoes that have a lower impact on the environment. They are produced under socially fair conditions and have a minimal CO2 footprint. The models are mainly made from sustainable materials such as vegetable-tanned leather, organic canvas, recycled rubber, organic cotton, cork, natural rubber, and recycled materials or PET.
Stylish & Sustainable: Eco-Sneakers by Shoepassion
Whether it's a branded shoe or a no-name product: Many of today's mass-produced sneaker collections are made from materials that harm the environment and are often produced under unfair conditions. Whether shoes made of leather are better than those made of plastic depends mainly on whether the leather is treated with toxic chemicals and adhesives during production. This can potentially lead to skin rashes on the feet and other complaints.
When choosing leather shoes, it is important to make sure that they are made of high-quality materials and produced and processed under appropriate conditions. If you are not looking for vegan sneakers, but rather leather sneakers, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather.
A Look Behind the Eco Scenes: Materials & Design
Many sustainable manufacturers use the same materials as conventional brands, but these come from organic farming (cotton), are recycled (polyester), or are vegetable-tanned (leather). Some eco-fair brands are also vegan. Others focus mainly on ensuring that all materials are pure, i.e. no mixed fabrics, and can be returned to the resource cycle after their "end of life".
Just like with conventional sneakers, there is also a wide variety of sustainable options. The selection ranges from simple and sporty to super stylish. Some are adorned with clever details, while others impress with simple elegance. The colors range from earthy browns and beiges to vibrant neon shades.
How to style the new eco-sneakers for men
When it comes to styling, men can combine eco-friendly shoes just like conventional sneakers. Jeans always work and brown and black eco-sneakers look great with the new, trendy cargo pants.
