What materials for our eco-friendly sneakers?
In order to reduce our carbon footprint, we have been very vigilant about sourcing eco-responsible materials for our ecological sneakers.
The exterior (the upper) as well as the lining of our vegan sneakers are made with an innovative plant-based material containing 78% organic materials, mainly corn .
The sole, meanwhile, is partly made from recycled rubber . Finally, all our materials come from Italy, Portugal or Spain.
Eco-responsible sneakers 100% made in Europe
Today, only 3% of shoes are made in Europe. It is therefore essential for us to contribute, on our scale, to increasing this figure by working with a European workshop for the production of our eco-responsible sneakers.
Our choice fell on Portugal : the cradle of footwear and at the forefront of vegan sneakers made from plant-based materials. Portugal is also a guarantee of quality for our sneakers and compliance with social standards .
Support All at School with our eco-responsible sneakers.
For us, education is the lever that allows women to be financially independent and to control their destiny. With Mood Walk, we want to support Toutes à l'école by donating 2 euros for each pair of sneakers sold and by organizing special operations to support them even more. If you want to support them on a daily basis, we have created specific messages on our embroidered straps: “Educating girls means saving the planet” and “Educating girls means saving earth”.
FAQ
Why choose Mood Walk ethical and charitable sneakers?
A woman owns between 11 and 84 pairs of shoes according to ADEME: the textile industry is not only one of the largest, but also one of the most polluting.
Indeed, the production of a pair of women's sneakers involves a large amount of waste and emissions. This is why it is necessary to adopt responsible consumption. Opting for ethical sneakers will not only allow you to favor an environmentally friendly manufacturing method , but also to respect workers more .
It is also said that sneakers are supportive when a charitable action is carried out. Because we are committed to building a better world, we have opted for both: ethical sneakers and supportive sneakers .
Mood Walk ethical and solidarity sneakers are made in Portugal in a family workshop concerned with the well-being of its employees. Resulting from traditional know-how, our ethical and solidarity sneakers are made from vegan materials.
Thanks to the innovative methods of our partner Coronet favoring renewable energies and a closed water circuit, our ethical and solidarity sneakers require few resources: they respect the planet, humans and animals .
In addition, for each pair of solidarity sneakers purchased, Mood Walk donates €2 to “Toutes à l'école”, an association that aims to provide education to girls in Cambodia. To learn more about the association “Toutes à l'école” and the Mood Walk solidarity sneakers , visit our blog.
We also organize special events like popups where up to €40 is donated for each pair of sneakers sold.
What solidarity actions are being implemented by the ethical sneaker brand Mood Walk?
Mood Walk ethical sneakers are part of a solidarity approach . Indeed, for each pair of solidarity sneakers purchased, Mood Walk donates €2 to “ Toutes à l'école ”: an association that allows underprivileged little girls in Cambodia to join the Happy Chandara school and benefit from a high-level education.
In Cambodia, girls can attend public school, but they usually leave early in their school career to help their families by going to work. Indeed, most of them live in precarious housing and do not have enough to eat. The association supports the families of these little girls by providing them with food baskets.
At Happy Chandara School, girls are educated, among other things, in environmental preservation: they will later become emancipated women and responsible actors concerned with protecting the planet. In addition to a better education, they also benefit from better care in general: dental care, vaccinations, medical monitoring, etc.
To learn more about solidarity sneakers and the “Toutes à l'école” association , we invite you to consult our blog.
You can also opt for the 2 dedicated messages that we created for the association: Educating girls means saving the planet and Educating girls means saving earth. You will find them on the product sheets of our vegan sneakers by taking a pair or in the straps category .
