Sustainable Shoes that Never Sacrifice Style or Durability

by Jeremy Alexander 21 Jan 2025
Sustainable Shoes that Never Sacrifice Style or Durability

There are misconceptions about sustainable shoes using 100% vegan materials – that they don’t stand the test of time, lack the style options available in other brands, or opt for lower quality materials that are “accidentally vegan” but toxic for the environment. At Grounded People, we started our brand to challenge these ideas by only using the highest-quality, ethically sourced, and super sustainable materials that are always 100% vegan in each shoe we create. When people wear Grounded People, our goal is that they enjoy every step in style for a long, long time.

Sustainable Shoes with Innovative Materials

We take great pride in our commitment to sourcing the highest-quality materials that respect the environment our shoes are made from recycled plastics and rubber, organic cotton, and onMicro, a leather alternative, known for durability and appearance. 

Did you know? OnMicro was developed to replicate natural cowhide, both in look and in performance; it is waterproof produced with revolutionary nanoflash technology.

Grounded People shoes are designed with loving them for an extended period of time in mind—never for fast fashion. We build each shoe for everyday use, which means planning for durability that outpaces daily wear and tear. When you buy a Grounded People pair of shoes, you’ll never have to question the quality of the materials we use just because they’re recycled (it’s truly a win-win)!

Ethically Made Shoes also means Fair Wages and Safe Conditions

Each pair of Grounded People shoes is made in the world’s only 100% vegan shoe factory, where we ensure fair wages and safe working conditions. Our transparent approach ensures that everyone involved is valued, making our shoes eco-friendly and ethically sound.
