Ethically Made Plant-Based Shoes

SCOOTS' Footwear Product Makes Use of Pineapples, Corn and Cork

— June 4, 2019 — Eco
SCOOTS perfects the plant-based shoe for everyday use. In a world where the focus is put on ethical material use and sustainable manufacturing practices, it really comes as no surprise that a brand which operates along those parameters will be a favorable one.

SCOOTS launches its Kickstarter for the PA1. This silhouette presents a casual and versatile plant-based shoe which promises to be supportive through the insertion of a custom insole, as well as extremely lightweight. For the upper, the brand makes use of pineapple and corn, while the insole is created with cork. The use of these materials entails that the footwear performs at peak breathability. In addition, the plant-based shoes are made by skilled craftspeople in Portugal.

With a focus on ecological sustainability and minimalist design, SCOOTS footwear proves to be a guilt-free purchase and ideal for any occasion.
