 4.Sustainable Footwear – Vegan Ranges

As trends in the footwear industry and their impact on the environment continue to merge, the advent of Spring Summer 2022 brings with it the exponential growth in the savvy sensible eco-friendly customer. These buyers are extremely conscious of how adversely the production and manufacturing processes of the fashion and footwear Industry impact the environment. This cohort is no longer voting with their minds, they are voting with their wallets leading to a surge in demand for sustainable footwear manufactured 100% WITHOUT animal materials.

A recent fashion article from RTE Lifestyle referenced Jamie Hyam Sneaker Expert from The Sole Supplier in the UK who stated “that following the pandemic, shoppers are more concerned with the environmental impact of their purchases: Consumers are looking to invest in brands which are shown to be active towards issues such as plastic consumption, sustainable operations, and renewable materials. The explosion in choice of Vegan footwear options for Spring 2022 is evidence of this upward lifestyle trend.
