Did you see that Everlane has put out a running shoe? It’s called Tread and their mission is to “create the world’s lowest impact sneaker. Make them last. Make them carbon neutral. And never stop pushing to make them better.”
“We started with full-grain leather produced at a gold-certified tannery, then cut the virgin plastic we were using by 54% (and counting).
The Sole is 94.2% free of virgin Plastic.
The average sneaker sole is almost entirely plastic. We use recycled and natural rubber instead, keeping 18,000 pounds of rubber out of landfills—and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 54%”.
Tread has launched with 7 colours and they cost $98 US. I was lucky enough to be sent a pair to try before the launch and have worn them on my daily walks. I haven’t had them long enough to give a in-depth review, but so far I really like them.
I got them in black, and they kind of have a retro look to them which I really like. They are comfortable and supportive, and give me a nice bounce when I walk. They are a little stiff but I anticipate that they will soften up with wear like any sneaker does. It makes me feel good knowing that I am lessening my impact on the earth one step at a time.
