Sustainable Materials That Make a Difference

Naturcontact barefoot shoes incorporate vegan leather, natural rubber, recycled fabrics, and biodegradable components. Vegan leather delivers the premium look and durability of traditional leather without animal products. Natural rubber and biodegradable soles reduce long-term waste, while recycled fabrics limit the use of virgin resources. Together, these choices make Naturcontact shoes durable, functional, and kinder to the planet.

New Sustainable Innovations

Alongside proven materials, Naturcontact explores innovative, low-impact alternatives that elevate performance and comfort:

  • Mylo (mushroom mycelium): leather-like feel and fully biodegradable potential.
  • Mirum (plant-based leather): crafted from natural oils and fibers such as hemp and corn.
  • Bamboo composites: lightweight yet durable for sole structures and support.
  • Algae-based foams: reduce reliance on petroleum plastics while adding natural cushioning.

These innovations help Naturcontact barefoot footwear improve flexibility, breathability, and longevity without compromising its eco commitment.

Comfort Through Thoughtful Design

Sustainable materials can also enhance comfort. Our barefoot eco-friendly shoes use flexible, lightweight components that allow natural foot movement. Breathable uppers help keep feet dry, while ergonomic soles and wide toe boxes support balance and foot health core principles of the Naturcontact natural-movement philosophy.

 

Protection for Outdoor Adventures

High-quality eco materials improve protection and durability. The grippy soles of Naturcontact outdoor shoes add stability across mixed terrain, and water-resistant textiles help shield against moisture. Even without heavy synthetics, Naturcontact achieves weather-ready performance suitable for everyday adventures.
