Sustainable Sneakers for Women
Whether minimalist, in a cool retro look, or as a trendy running variant: when it comes to style, sustainable sneakers are on par with their conventional competitors. Many shoe companies and fashion brands have (finally) taken up the topic of sustainability in recent years and offer a wide range of different models of women's shoes 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 topics.
What makes a sustainable sneaker
Most shoes, including sneakers, are made of leather. However, there is also an increasingly large selection of vegan and environmentally friendly sneakers. These are produced under socially fair conditions and have the lowest possible CO₂ footprint. Models are primarily made from sustainable materials such as vegetable-tanned leather, organic canvas, recycled rubber, organic cotton, cork, natural rubber, and recycled materials such as PET.
Stylish & Sustainable: Eco-Sneakers for Fashion and Environment-Conscious Ladies
Whether low-cut, high-top, or canvas sneakers, whether branded or no-name products: Many of today's mass-produced sneaker collections are made from materials that harm the environment and are often produced under socially unfair conditions. Whether women's leather shoes are preferable to those made of synthetic materials primarily depends on whether the upper material and soles are treated with toxic chemicals and glue during production. This can potentially lead to skin rashes and other complaints. Therefore, when choosing a leather shoe, it is important to make sure that high-quality materials are used and that they are produced and manufactured under adequate conditions. Fair trade in terms of the environment and people is definitely part of this.
A Look Behind the Eco Scenes: The Materials
Many sustainable manufacturers use the same fabrics as conventional brands, but these come from organic production (cotton), are recycled (polyester), or are vegetable-tanned (leather).
However, depending on the demands of the buyers, there are also significant differences within the sustainable sneaker world. Some eco-fair brands are also vegan. Others focus mainly on using pure materials, meaning no mixed fabrics, and ensuring that they can be returned to the resource cycle after their "end of life". Therefore, there is something for every taste and sustainable mindset. The fantastic quality of the range of sustainable women's sneakers is also evident in the tremendous durability of these "eco-shoes".
A Look Behind the Eco Scenes: The Design
Just like with conventional sneaker models, sustainable versions also come in a wide variety. The selection ranges from simple to sporty to super stylish. Some come with refined details such as special seams and decorations, while others impress with their simple elegance. Color tones range from earthy browns and beiges to vibrant neon colors.
How to style our sustainable eco-sneakers
Women choose simple models such as leather or fabric slip-ons in delicate colors (pastel is currently very popular!) or go for a classic and elegant look in white. This looks timeless and fresh - not only with skinny jeans, but also with a skirt and blouse or a summery dress, sustainable white sneakers are an ideal choice.
Otherwise, you can of course combine the sustainable models just like conventional women's sneakers. Jeans always fit and brown and black eco-sneakers look great with the new, trendy cargo pants. The great advantage of sneakers of any kind is that they look good with almost any occasion and clothing and are extremely comfortable. No wonder these "kicks" are among the most popular shoes of all time.
