Feeling the ground beneath your feet is said to have various health benefits but is not practical for everyday life. The next best thing to walking barefoot is wearing grounding or earthing footwear such as Vivobarefoot. All Vivobarefoot footwear is designed to be wide, thin and flexible: as close to barefoot as possible. They promote your foot’s natural strength, distribute body weight evenly and improve balance. Allowing you to feel the ground beneath your feet whilst providing some protection.
Take baby steps as it will take time to adjust to this new sensation.

The feeling of walking barefoot doesn’t have to be confined to spring and summer if wearing Vivobarefoot Gobi Boots with its cosy warm faux shearling lining – great for a casual winter’s day at the races. Its thermal Insole has built-in temperature-regulating technology that absorbs, stores and releases heat. This smart thermal layer responds to the naturally changing temperatures of your feet, keeping them warm or cooling them down. The upper is of 100% wild hide. Was £200.000 now £150.00

Sustainable Vegan Cactus Leather Trainers | White & Pink Blossom – Cocorose London

All their vegan trainers are hand-made in Portugal using Sustainable Cactus Leather, making every pair Fully Vegan and Recyclable.

Cactus plants are eco-friendly superstars, showcasing remarkable sustainability. Their robust and resilient nature enables them to thrive in challenging environments with minimal irrigation, flourishing even in drought conditions whilst naturally rejuvenating the surrounding soil. Extensive research has unveiled the impressive capacity of cactus plants as CO2 sinks, with just 14 acres absorbing 8,100 tons of carbon annually, playing a pivotal role in mitigating climate change.

In a noteworthy development, resourceful farmers in Mexico have recently uncovered that cactus leaves serve as an exceptional, plant-based alternative for animal or synthetic leather. This vegan cactus leather proves to be not only durable but also soft and flexible. Embracing this innovative alternative allows us to access an entirely sustainable resource, concurrently promoting cactus cultivation – a practice that aids climate change and one that can contribute to substantial, sustainable economic growth in local communities where cacti are cultivated.
