The lowdown on Patagonia Footwear

Hevea Milk?

The latex we use comes from milk harvested from the hevea tree. Not only is the harvesting process good for the tree, helping boost milk production, but the milk itself has a certain microstructure that when cured creates thousands of tiny cushioning air bubbles. So you’ll tread lighter, and you’ll be a lot more comfortable doing it.


Better Leather

Before sourcing any leather, we did our homework. What we found was that all leather does not have the same impact on the environment. To ensure that the leather in our footwear leaves the smallest possible footprint, we use tanneries with an ISO 14001 registration. This strict set of environmental standards measures how efficiently a company uses natural resources, how its processes impact the environment, and how closely it adheres to local and international environmental regulations.We think companies that measure up to ISO 14001 produce leather that’s better for shoes and better for the planet.


The Buzz on Hemp

Hemp may be one of the most useful, and misunderstood, crops ever cultivated. It has a very short growing cycle, requires relatively little water and no pesticides, and is extremely resistant to molds and bacteria. Its root structure even helps prevent erosion. Shoes made with hemp require no break-in period, breathe better and smell better than those made from leather or synthetics, and are less prone to bacterial buildup, which is a lot healthier on the feet.We use hemp in a variety of ways, all of them legal, including as a substrate in some soles as well as a material for uppers.


Smart Step

During the shoe-manufacturing process, scrap rubber is left on the cutting-room floor. But that doesn’t mean it has to end up in a landfill. A number of our soles are made with Ecostep™, a Vibram®- formulated compound that uses up to 30% recycled scrap rubber that would otherwise be thrown away. Ecostep is highly abrasion resistant and provides great traction in all kinds of weather and terrain.
