We are not exempt from the hard conversations and processes that we need to engage with as a purpose-driven company.

It's Raining Microplastics... Here, There and Everywhere

A fine layer of plastic now extends from the deepest ocean floor to the tops of the highest mountains, swirling in the wind and smothering every ecosystem on Earth

Business Will Never Be Usual Again

This is a heavy time for us all, and whilst it seems like an odd time to be selling footwear on our sweet new website, we are hoping to be part of what comes next. 

2020: A carbon positive year

There's no doubt 2020 has to be the decade of action on climate collapse. At WAES we strived for carbon neutrality during our launch in 2019, and for 2020 we pledge to become carbon positive.

More than 200% funded! Thank you.

For Backers if you are looking for info, we have sent out a survey via Kickstarter which you fill in to tell us your sizes and we have already started production and we’ll be available around Christmas.

The judges are in: We are shortlisted for the Plastic-Free Awards
