RATION.L (comfy eco-friendly vegan trainers)

RATION.L is a unique brand of trainers in various colours. Like ‘walking on clouds’, these are designed for men or women, and made from recycled materials, nontoxic vegan leather, organic cotton laces and natural rubber soles.

The glue used is water-based and the trainers are sent in sustainable packaging. You can also buy ‘repurposed trainers’ at a more affordable price, due to slight scuffs or marks. And a portion of profits is given to a free helpline for people suffering from brain & spinal medical conditions.

R-Thrive trainer is made with apple leather (from fruit waste) and uses corn waste and recycled tennis balls!

As most good brands of sustainable vegan sneakers are sold online, get your feet measures in a shop, to save the hassle of returns (Europeans don’t offer half-sizes, so choose the larger size and wear thicker socks!

Vegan sneakers are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth (laundering is not recommended, but if you do, use a microfibre filter) to stop microplastics leaching from the machine, into the sea).
