Origin
- Responsibly made in Vietnam
Materials
- Upper: 100% Kulshan knit hemp: sustainable & biodegradable. Hemp's natural benefits - cool in the summer and warm in the winter; anti-microbial; lightweight; water-resistant; UV-resistant; and extremely durable
- Outsole: made of Eco-Pure® foam and contains Rackle’s proprietary PLEXUS ARCH™ design. EcoPure® foam - promotes bio-degradation and breaks down in biologically active landfill conditions.
- Plexus Arch: raised ribbed arch design stimulates the foot where veins in the arch area meet (plexus) during forward motion (e.g. walking, etc.).
- Laces: combination of hemp and 100% recycled material. Each pair of shoes is shipped with two sets of different colored shoe laces (solid and checkered).
Certifications
- Using the ASTM D5511 test method, (EVA outsoles/midsoles) containing EcoPure® were found to biodegrade 52% more over 457 days of independent 3rd-party testing. The test conditions were >51% solids, which is representative of some, not all landfill conditions. Results shall not be extrapolated past the actual duration of the test.
Earth Friendly Features
- According to the US Department of the Interior, over 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away each year in the United States alone. Most shoe waste is comprised of non-biodegradable plastics, foam, leather and petroleum-based rubber materials that can take up to 80 - 150 years to naturally decompose. Rackle makes their eco-shoes with sustainable, plant-based uppers and foam soles that accelerate bio-degradation (up to 50x faster than typical shoes)!

Rackle Shoes
When you purchase a pair of shoes, you might think about how long they’ll last YOU, but what about how long they’ll last on the planet?

Enter Rackle Shoes. Created as a solution to this alarming statistic, this classic shoe features sustainable, breathable hemp and eco-pure foam soles that are designed to biodegrade 30-50x more quickly than generic shoe soles. Even the shoelaces boast a blend of hemp and recycled polyester! Rackle Shoes will float you from street to office to nature walk, all with a lighter footprint on our planet!

These seem like amazing shoes so far. They squeaked for a day after taking them out of the box, but you only need to wear them once for it to go away. Super comfy, light and breathable. Thank you for showing me a great eco-friendly alternative to stylish shoes!
