Fair.Vegan.Sustainable The Ethletic Fair Trainer Lo Cut is the ethical alternative to typical old-school sneakers with white tops. Forever young, it gives any outfit a touch of nonconformity. (Supposedly there are people who get married in our sneakers – and it’s not just a few). The Lo Cut version is especially easy to slip into and ready to make you feel good. All Ethletic Trainers are made from Fairtrade certified organic cotton and natural rubber soles. Except for the metal eyelets, natural materials are used exclusively. The shoes are 100 percent vegan. Upper, lining and laces: 100% organic Fairtrade Certified Cotton | Sole and rubber parts: FSC certified natural rubberAll of the cotton is Fairtrade certified and sourced from Fairtrade producers. Fairtrade means fairer trading conditions and opportunities for cotton producers in developing countries to invest in their businesses and communities for a sustainable future. Buying Fairtrade certified cotton enables the producers that grow it to have fair prices and decent working conditions. A proportion of the purchasing price of Fairtrade certified cotton is invested by farmers and workers in social, environmental and economic development projects. There are strict Fairtrade certification standards designed to improve local sustainability and protect the environment where Fairtrade Cotton is grown. All of the natural rubber is FSC certified. “FSC“ stands for “Forest Stewardship Council“ and is an international certification system for forestry. Worldwide valid principles are guaranteeing that products of wood and paper with the FSC seal are steming from responsibly farmed forests. The FSC standard stipulates that ecological functions of a forest have to survive. In addition, it secures threatened animal- and plant forms from extinction and secures the rights of the inhabitants and employees. Have a good time with your new Ethletic Fair Trainer
