Yatay wants to prove that shopping without hurting the environment is possible and as cool as ever. It took them two years to create a shoe that’s as sustainable as it is minimal and timeless. Manufactured in Italy through procedures developed to reduce the environmental impact, Yatay shoes are entirely made of eco-friendly materials

Yatay's sneakers are handmade by master shoemakers in the Italian region of Marche following time honoured traditions handed down from generation to generation, reinterpreted using modern technology. Wholly sourced in Italy, the quality of their materials and components is uncompromised

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
