Eco-Friendly Commuter Shoes

Deckers X Lab Unveiled the X-SCAPE RDSTR Eco-Friendly Shoe

— April 5, 2023 — Eco
Deckers X Lab announced the 'X-SCAPE RDSTR,' an eco-friendly shoe and the latest release in the X-SCAPE collection. The eco-friendliness of this shoe comes from its bio-circular EcoTan leather lining, 30% recycled gum rubber outsole, and bio-based microfiber low-cut upper, which are all comfortable, breathable, and sustainable.

The RDSTR is designed to be a shoe for the everyday commuter, so it is important that it is comfortable and durable. The shoe achieves this with its removable and replaceable insole, and its cork topsole that adds further support for longer walking sessions. The X-SCAPE RDSTR also features a sugarcane EVA midsole with a swallowtail rear for a unique walking experience.

Lastly, Deckers X Lab made this shoe with the help of the HERproject, which is a collaborative initiative that aims to empower women in the workplace.
