OUR GUIDE TO WODEN FOOTWEAR
Materials:
Woden has a great respect for nature and the environment and is committed to sustainability, following a mantra of "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle". They prioritise eco-friendly practices by integrating materials like fish leather and incorporating at least 10% recycled rubber in their outsoles, along with eco-friendly cork insoles. The fish leather used in Woden trainers is a by product of the Icelandic fishing industry (whereby only 1% of the skin is actually used). Fish skin is known for its durability and sustainability, this is due to the unique cross fibre structure of the fish leather and makes it 10 times stronger than calf leather. The tanning process used also produces 0% carbon emissions.
