COMFORT, FIT AND ERGONOMICS
Wide, narrow or regular fit?
The human foot comes in all shapes and sizes. Our sneakers are optimized for a normal or average foot width.
Comfort - supportive, not soft
The ergonomically designed cork footbed inside distributes the weight over a larger area, providing a feeling of softness and support without the need for soft plastic foams.
Flexible
The natural latex sole is a remarkable combination of flexibility and excellent grip, keeping you on firm ground while adapting to the surface.
Long laces for a controlled fit
The hiking-inspired long lacing system wraps gently around your foot and gives you precise fit control.
Lowering the heel
This sneaker has a heel drop of approximately 5mm. It is not a zero-drop shoe.
Breathable
The inside of the sneaker is made of a pure 100% hemp textile that wicks away moisture and ensures a healthy and dry environment.
We use large diameter yarns to weave a mesh structure with thousands of tiny gaps that allow water vapor to pass through and away from your feet.
The stinky foot season is over
- Odor and bacteria resistant materials ensure a healthy and dry environment.
- Cork contains a natural substance called “subherin”, which makes it resistant to odors, bacteria and fungi.
- Wool contains a natural substance called lanolin, which protects it from bacteria, water and stains.
- Our hemp is completely chemical free and naturally antimicrobial.
Low maintenance
All our sneakers are treated with a water and dirt repellent nano coating. This coating is 100% natural and completely harmless to the environment and human health.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Easy-care
Earthbound™ materials are naturally odor, bacteria, water and stain resistant and should last a long time with proper use and care.
Water repellent
All Earthbound™ sneakers feature a water-repellent coating that is completely natural and harmless to the environment, human health and any type of material.
How to care for your Earthbound™ sneakers
To maintain the beautiful color and appearance, we recommend a gentle vacuum with a soft nozzle. Pure wool is anti-static and does not attract dirt like other fabrics. The fabric is also water-repellent, so spilled liquids can only slowly penetrate the fabric.
For all dust and mud stains, allow the stains to dry and then vacuum. After vacuuming, use a clean and soft shoe brush (or toothbrush).
If there are stains, always soak up the liquid as quickly as possible with a white kitchen towel. If the stain has dried, remove as much of it as possible by vacuuming. Most stains and dirt can be removed with a commercially available pH-neutral cleaning agent diluted in lukewarm water.
Over time, white dust may form on the surface of rubber outsoles. This is a natural hardening process of the rubber, which you can remove with warm water, regular detergent and a soft brush.
Durable outsole
The abrasion-resistant compound of the outsole ensures that you can enjoy your sneakers for a long time.
