SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS

Rather than focus on the speed at which the shoes break down, PURIFIED looks further and explores their impact on soil health.

Shoes were tested under ISO 20020:2015 to measure their level of toxicity. Shoes were exposed to soil conditions for 90 days, the soil was then inspected for toxic chemicals and found to have exceptionally low levels.

Tomato and Barley Plants were then introduced to this soil to assess how they grew (OECD 208 - plant response). When planted in this soil, it was discovered that under certain conditions the plants grew better than compared to regular compost.

PURIFIED will publish these results upon completion of the tests. A comparison test; looking into how an industry standard trainer might perform, is currently underway.

These shoes are surprisingly great - I wasn't expecting them to be comfortable and seem like my other more "mainstream" shoes! The fact that they are, makes me want to continue using/wearing/buying these BIODEGRADABLE shoes!! Plastic-free shoes - can't beat it...plastic-free is the way to be! Thanks team

Only had them a week so too early to comment on durability - but I love the shoes. Comfortable, and they look and feel good quality. Well done Purified - keep it up!

Shoe fits horribly. Hurts your feet as soon as you put them on. Customer service has been unhelpful and unresponsive. Don't buy!!!!

These shoes are very well made. Such a big difference from the plastic and glued shoes. It is obvious these are made by real human beings. The soles are amazing! It's impressive what can be done with banana trees. I feel good supporting a business using innovation to make a real difference and purchasing a product that isn't going to last hundreds of years in a landfill. Very happy with my purchase and grateful for Purified's work.

The ULTIMATE COMFORT

THE WALDEN JOURNEY

The Walden was created after four years of material exploration. From the Bio-tech labs of North America, to the wild jungles of the Phillipines. Only the best entirely natural materials were sourced.

Mirum

MIRUM® is a super high-performance, plastic-free alternative to traditional leather. This premium material is made from responsibly sourced natural rubber, plant-based oils, natural pigments, and minerals.

PLIANT SOLE

PLIANT™, is the world’s first scalable, 100% biobased outsoles, crafted from naturally cured, USDA-certified rubber. Unlike most "rubber" materials that rely on synthetic compounds or petrochemicals, these outsoles use natural rubber sourced from responsibly managed trees.
