The world’s first plastic-free, black vegan sneakers, created in partnership with nature.
Ethically-made, entirely plastic-free and animal-friendly, WAES Hope black vegan trainers with red gum soles are arguably the world’s most guilt-free footwear.
Working in partnership with nature, we’ve created the ultimate pair of plant-based, super smooth, sustainable black canvas shoes, made from all-natural materials.
Uncompromising on style and comfort, our eco-friendly trainers feature a classic design, reborn for minimal ecological impact. Combining a black canvas body with black laces and red natural rubber soles, Hope vegan trainers are an everyday essential that complete any look.
Every pair of these black sustainable trainers is lovingly handmade in Portugal from organic cotton with natural gum soles, hemp stitching and vegan conifer glue.
Our plastic-free rubber soles take a week to pour, bake and cure, resulting in a supple yet hard-wearing microstructure, containing thousands of tiny air bubbles. Once we’ve added our unique Infinite Cloud insoles, we’re left with a pair of black and red vegan sneakers that provide unrivalled comfort.
So go ahead, challenge every established norm and be plastic-free and vegan from the ground up with a pair of WAES game-changing Hope Black/Red Canvas Shoes.
Hope vegan sneakers are built from the sole up with sustainability and circularity as our primary focus. Join us in changing the way shoes are manufactured and help stem the tide of plastic footwear.
Our 100% biodegradable, eco-friendly trainers use only the highest-quality natural materials, which put people and the environment first. Every pair of WAES ethical footwear is a plastic-free, no compromise product. Using only sustainable materials and natural organic processes which prioritises the environment above profit.
Once their repairable life is over, our compostable shoes break down into organic materials in ordinary composting, but only long after they have served a long and useful life which outstrips most footwear.
Our unique natural production process uses hand-poured rubber, which is cured for a week, and creates an alveolar microstructure of tiny networked air bubbles for unrivalled comfort and 100% sustainable trainers.
Our eco shoes and trainers contain zero plastic, from the factory to your door, and including the packaging. We only use planet-friendly materials and natural organic processes which prioritise sustainability.
