It’s not often a company recommends that you bury your shoes in the backyard, but that’s exactly what OAT Shoes says. As makers of the world’s first biodegradable shoes, that advice is perfectly legitimate.
OAT debuted the shoe collection at the Amsterdam International
Fashion Week last month, where they won second place in the Green
Fashion Competition.
The “Virgin Collection” comes in four colors – red, blue, green and
yellow – and are made from canvas and seed-embedded cork soles that will
break down over time.
The company spent two years in research and development, visiting
modern factories and ancient craftsmen to find the right combination of
materials and manufacturing principles.
While the 900-shoe limited run will only be available in Europe, demand could spread to the U.S. soon.
