Native Shoes is a PETA-approved vegan brand that recently added to its conscious footwear collection with the 'Jefferson 2.0' slip-on shoe.
The all-new vegan and zero-waste style is made with 3D knitting, which means that there is no wasted fabric involved in the process of producing the slip-on sneaker style. While the shoe does have the look of a classic sneaker, complete with laces and all, its breathable and stretchy Liteknit formula makes it possible for it to be effortlessly slipped on and off the foot in the same manner as a sock.
As well as featuring a zero-waste manufacturing process, the sustainable slip-on sneakers from Native Shoes also boast insoles made with recycled materials. While the brand certainly captures the hearts of consumers who are looking to make ethical, cruelty-free purchases, the new style promises to appeal to anyone looking to update their look with an innovative piece of footwear.
