A carbon-negative material that literally grows on trees!
We've pioneered a way to turn used wine corks into a sustainable replacement for fossil fuel foams used in footwear, and it’s better in every way.
It all starts with a tree.
Wine corks are made from the highest quality bark of the cork oak tree, which is harvested every 9-12 years without ever cutting a tree down. Those wine corks are then recycled by businesses and individuals like you. ReCORK grinds them down and recombines them as our revolutionary materials in a process that requires far less energy and water than synthetic foams. The result is footwear components that are sustainable every step of the way, from origin to end-point.
Why else do we use wine corks?
Beyond being incredibly eco-friendly, cork has many other qualities that make it perfect for use in footwear.
CUSHIONING
Natural elasticity makes for excellent shock absorption.
NATURALLY DRY
Moisture-wicking and odor-reducing.
CUSTOMIZABLE
Naturally molds to your unique feet within days of wear.
SUPPORTIVE
Firm enough to provide long-lasting support.
