Recycled Sex Toy-Made Clogs

ROSE IN GOOD FAITH Designs the Sustainable Plastic Soul Clog

— July 27, 2022 — Lifestyle
ROSE IN GOOD FAITH introduces its latest footwear model to join its roster for the season -- it boasts a clog-like silhouette and takes on the name Plastic Soul. the shoe is made from a blend of thermoplastic and EVA foam materials and most notably, it is made from unused or discarded sex toys.

These are gathered from Doc Johnson, creating new life to the materials. It is now repurposed to become materials that construct footwear. Notably, the Plastic Soul is not a regular foam clog, it rests on a recycled cork insole and has arch support built into it. It also is water resistant with the molding designed to have layered textures and an angular shape.
