Cover. Its leather cover went through a creative tanning process that apparently leaves no harmful chemicals in the environment. Some variations are wrapped in a waterproof mesh made from 100% recycled PET plastic. 

Lining. Comfy and soft inner sleeves consist of 67% recycled PET plastic and 33% organically grown cotton. 

Cushioning. Insoles offer padding and support. These are assembled using 34% sugarcane, 11% Amazonian rubber, 11% organic cotton, and 8% recycled EVA.

Outsole. Grippy outsoles are constructed using wild rubber sourced from the Amazonian forest.
