Step into sustainability with the Men's Alex Blue Nights Hemp Shoes from Rackle! Made from water-resistant, UV-resistant, and durable hemp fabric with biodegradable foam raised ribbed arches, these ultra-light sneakers give you everything you need in a shoe – and nothing you don't. Most shoe waste is comprised of non-biodegradable plastics, foam, leather, and petroleum-based materials that can take up to 150 years to naturally decompose. Rackle shoes are designed to break down 30-50 times faster than those with ordinary soles. Plus, these shoes are so breathable and bouncy, you may forget you're even wearing shoes! Walking lightly on our planet has never been more comfortable.
This high-yield crop grows quickly and usually doesn't rely on harsh pesticides and fertilizers, making it a dependable renewable resource. The cannabis plant produces more fiber per acre than common textile crops like cotton and flax, and actually adds nutrients to the soil instead of depleting them! Hemp is strong, breathable, and moisture wicking, and it requires minimal dye during fabric production due to its high absorbency qualities.
Shop Hemp Products
Recycling is the process of taking an otherwise-discarded item or material and cleaning, sorting, and breaking it down into its basic form (such as fibers or pellets). This material is then used to produce new items. Recycling keeps useful materials from being discarded in landfills, prevents resource extraction due to the creation of new materials, and provides a new life for used items. Recycling can utilize both pre-consumer waste (materials left over from production) or post-consumer materials (used clothing, empty water bottles, etc).
