Toest's Ingredients...

  • Women’s eco-friendly beeswax coated hemp boot that keeps your feet dry and warm in a totally natural and sustainable way
  • The foldover part is made of hemp and organic cotton knit. Hemp is known for it’s insulating properties (i.e. keeping you nice and warm)
  • Soft organic cotton fleece lining
  • Around the bottom edge of the shoe, we put a strip of rubbahyde – our special water repellant fabric (certified organic cotton!) with a coating of all-natural latex
  • The “pedbed” (the cushiony and supportive stuff at the bottom of the shoe) is made of cork and natural latex for supreme squishiness
  • Water based glue is used to hold the shoe together, not petroleum based. Just another way to reduce our dependence on petroleum, and it also means no nasty smelling glue for the people who put your shoes together
  • That button is a rolled up piece of innertube
  • Bamboo heel wedge. Bamboo is one of the most plentiful and quick growing plants and is grown without the use of pesticides - naturally environmentally friendly
  • Elastic PET loop/lace thing. PET is made of recycled soda bottles
  • Partially recycled shoe – the bottom of this shoe is made from a recycled car tire
  • The foot form inserts are made of post consumer recycled paper
  • Even our boxes are environmentally friendly – made of post-consumer recycled paper, soy based printing ink, natural latex and starch based glueContains natural latex. Latex is tapped from a tree like maple syrup
