The Essentials
FYE (For Your Earth) is an eco-friendly sneaker brand with products made from recycled materials and organic cotton. Emmanuel Cortez, the founder of the France-based brand, has 10 years experience in the shoe industry, so has known what elements of shoe manufacturing have needed improvement to better respect the environment. FYE has also used a new generation of vegetarian and animal free materials, ULTRA-SUEDE, for its winter collection, which is made from 100% recycled materials but as tough as leather.
Ethic-Chic
FYE is not only the new, trendy brand, but it fully respects the environment and mankind. The shoe soles are made with 50% of recycled shoes, and the upper portion is made either from recycled polyester (plastic bottles) or organic cotton (GOTS certified). Also, FYE offsets its CO2 emissions through a partnership with Planète Urgence; for every one FYE shoe, one tree is planted. FYE invest 5% of the shoe price to improve the work conditions.
