A retro classic reborn, these minimalist unisex white leather trainers with natural rubber soles are comfy, stylish and entirely plastic-free.
Working in partnership with nature, we've created the ultimate sustainable shoe that’s easy on the eye and made from all-natural materials.
Handmade in Portugal, these 1970 white on tan sustainable leather trainers prove there’s no need to compromise on style, comfort or quality when it comes to shopping ethically.
Made from the highest-grade organic ethically-sourced leather with natural gum soles in the orange hues of tan, hemp stitching and vegan conifer glue, these eco-friendly white leather trainers are 100% plastic-free.
Supple yet hard-wearing, our gum soles contain a unique microstructure of tiny air bubbles for unrivalled comfort. Combined with WAES unique Infinite Cloud insoles, which cushion the feet and provide extraordinary softness, these iconic white sneakers might just be the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever own.
Challenge every established norm and go plastic-free from the ground up with our game-changing 1970 premium white leather trainers.
Join us in changing the way shoe manufacturing is considered and help bring 100% natural shoe production to life. The 1970 are men's and women's white leather trainers, built from the sole up with sustainability as our primary focus.
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.
