Icebug Eide ReWool Biosole Lifestyle Shoes - Dark Grey 2024

IceBug focuses on making shoes with incredible grip on heterogeneous terrain to motivate people to move and sport outdoors even when conditions are wet, slippery and unwelcoming by developing a number of unique materials, studs and even Michelin tires. The Swedish manufacturer is an initiator and participant in numerous programs and initiatives for sustainable development and reducing the carbon footprint that large-scale production leaves on nature. Every material and manufacturing process that IceBug uses aims to use the minimum amount of chemicals, petroleum fuels, water and energy. Since example is the first and most important thing in a large-scale battle like this, they formed the Follow the Footprints program, which provides complete transparency about the production process of each pair. Just scan the QR code on the label of your new shoes and you'll get a full report in numbers on how environmentally friendly they are, as well as a detailed list of the countries they've traveled to get to you.

Eide are light, stylish and extremely comfortable everyday shoes with wool outer material from the Swedish brand Icebug. This model is made entirely from leftover material from Woolpower's production process, making it extremely eco-friendly.

Eide uses a single layer of wool with minimal seams and glued parts. Thanks to the natural properties of wool, these shoes have excellent thermoregulatory properties (retain heat in cold weather and do not steam on warm days) and do not retain unpleasant odors. The soft and slipper-like outer material in combination with the flexible midsole with BUGforce EVA foam with 20% BLOOM foam make the Eide shoes very comfortable for everyday use even if you spend a lot of time on your feet.

In Eide IceBug, they rely on the so-called Biosole sole - natural rubber substances replace synthetic ones, reducing the need for oils, the processing of which wastes large amounts of water and energy resources. Natural rubber reduces damage to nature by over 50%. Biosole contains 62% natural rubber, 7% synthetic and 31% fillers and other agents, again independent of oils. It provides excellent traction and is not affected by the temperature outside. The midsole is EVA, and since EVA foam is difficult to recycle, 20% is replaced by the so-called BLOOM foam, obtained from algae, harmful to the oceans, but allowing the production of foam with the same properties of shock absorption and lightness as EVA.
