I knew about Allbirds, but Nike is new to me here. </p> <p>Annagybe, what a great guide! Thank you for adding it. </p> <p>Toronto, aren’t the additions great? This thread is getting smarter all the time ;)</p> <p>Lucy, on Carla’s board shirt thread, I learned that many surf brands, like Roxy, are Australian. Which ones have the recycled fibers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycled-materials-in-shoes#post-2095422 Mon, 27 Jan 2020 23:50:25 +0000 Anonymous 2095422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great! Nike and Allbirds were the ones I was going to suggest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycled-materials-in-shoes#post-2095187 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 23:40:40 +0000 Lucy 2095187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of the Australian surf brands are even doing board shorts made from recycled tyres ! My partner has a pair and they are great . They feel slightly “ harder” than normal boardies but interestingly they are not at all hot and sweaty . He’s only had them a month or two so I can’t say yet how they will last but I think they seem tough . It’s a great idea ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycled-materials-in-shoes#post-2095111 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 13:48:01 +0000 Helena 2095111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool, thanks for the thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycled-materials-in-shoes#post-2095050 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 21:15:45 +0000 annagybe 2095050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://www.uniguide.com/recycled-shoes-brands/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uniguide.com/recycled-shoes-brands/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycled-materials-in-shoes#post-2095049 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 21:05:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2095049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nemosmom, I was rethinking the Vans purchase I was planning for this year.

If I have to sacrifice one, it will be the fit.<br /> New Balance makes a very few styles in "all manmade materials." Much more sustainable for the cows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recycled-materials-in-shoes#post-2094983 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 15:42:40 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2094983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runs with scissors &amp; Nemosmom, those are perfect.
