Reducing Our Footprint:
Every Step Counts
We're not just looking at what our shoes are made of, we're rethinking how they're made.
Our The Athlete’s Foot branded innersoles are fully circular – meaning each product & it's packaging is made from recyclable materials and can be recycled again.
Our manufacturing processes aim to minimise waste, incorporating biodegradable materials and promoting recyclability.
RAISE – sold exclusively through The Athletes Foot, stands for fashionable, sustainable, podiatry designed footwear made from over 90% recycled materials.
