Yatay shoes incoorperate many different sustainable textiles. For their outer layer, they use use a non-synthetic leather alternative. After two years of R&D, they discovered a way to instead employ “bio-polyols” - polymers extracted from cereals - as raw material. Their lining material is obtained from tree pulp harvest from 100% sustainable plantations. Their insoles are made of recycled rubber, that has tiny black flecks that adds resiliency, cushioning and comfort to the shoe, and simultaneously helps the environment. They also have an exterior alternative that is made with recycled plastic bottles, giving a new life for bottles, and an easier life for the planet
