Woden

Woden?

Woden is not just another snea­ker brand on the mar­ket, becau­se the Danish brand is already one step ahead. This is becau­se it com­bi­nes Scan­di­na­vian ele­ments with eco­lo­gi­cal alter­na­ti­ves to synthe­tic leather. Fun and trendy steps for men and women, young and old.

Sustainable sneakers

As a snea­ker brand, the Scan­di­na­vian brand is only trying to build its shoe with natu­ral mate­rials. This has the advan­ta­ge that the shoe, if it ever ends up on the was­te moun­tain, is easily degra­da­ble. Woden also works accor­ding to its own prin­ci­ple of reduc­tion, reuse and recy­cling. For its North Sea Collec­tion, the brand makes shoes out of fish-leather. This type of leather comes from the fishing industry in the North Sea, which uses only 1% of the fish skins. Unfor­tu­na­tely, the rest of the skins still end up in the gar­ba­ge heap, but some brands are gra­dually chan­ging that. The leather has been pro­ces­sed sus­tai­nably. For exam­ple, it has been dyed with water from the geother­mal springs in Ice­land. It is also much stron­ger than, for exam­ple, cow leather. This makes your shoes last a lot lon­ger. The sup­plier with whom Woden colla­bo­ra­tes is Atlan­tic Leather. This is all men­tio­ned on the web­si­te, so we can cer­tainly call this brand trans­pa­rent.
The pro­duc­tion loca­tion of the shoes is in a cer­ti­fied fac­tory in Vietnam. 

If you thought that was all, then you were wrong. Woden also works with cork for the inso­les of the snea­kers. This mate­rial is a sus­tai­na­ble and vegan alter­na­ti­ve to leather. Cork is anti­bac­te­rial and bio­de­gra­da­ble. The rub­ber soles are also made of at least 10% recy­cled, natu­ral and synthe­tic rub­ber. Not com­ple­tely eco­lo­gi­cal, but still a big step in the right direction!
