Great shoes

First I was a little skeptic, because I didn't know natural rubber. But the shoes are very comfortable and I absolutely love it!
Thanks to this shoes, my whole wardrobe is finally plastic-free.
Would definitely buy again.

Mens high tops

Bought as a gift and he loves them! In fact many of my friends are ordering now.

Wonderful but with unnecessary packaging

You wouldn't know that these shoes are plastic-free which is part of what makes them awesome. Look great and very comfortable also. My only complaint is that it came with an unnecessary wooden shoebox and bag which will probably end up in landfill, which clearly goes against the whole sustainable ethos. Please review your packaging!
