Our production processes are designed to be as environmentally friendly and resource-saving as possible.
From the choice of materials to production and the possibility of recycling your ZAQQs, we consider the entire life cycle of our barefoot shoes in every decision we make.
Sustainability is our top priority
By choosing a ZAQQ Barefoot Shoe, you are making a conscious decision for your well-being and for the planet.
Feel free, feel ZAQQ.
Leather is particularly durable
Leather is sustainable because it is a natural by-product of the meat industry. Instead of treating animal skins as waste, they are converted into leather, which is an effective use of resources.
Leather products are also known for their durability. A well cared leather shoe can last for decades.
At the end of its life, leather is biodegradable, which means that unlike synthetic materials, it does not contribute to the growing waste landfill.
Cotton is one of the most sustainable materials
Cotton is a renewable resource, which means that it has a much lower environmental impact compared to synthetic fibres, which are petroleum-based. In addition, cotton is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Our hand-finished cotton barefoot shoes are durable and offer you outstanding comfort with excellent breathability.
Merino wool with outstanding properties
Merino wool is naturally sustainable because it is completely biodegradable and renewable. The sheep are shorn regularly, which does not harm them or the environment.
Merino wool is also incredibly durable. It retains its shape and function even after many years of use, making it an excellent choice for our barefoot shoes. Thanks to its thermo-regulating and odour-inhibiting properties, this natural material offers outstanding comfort.
Turning waste into vegan recycled fabric
Our vegan recycled fabric is made from materials such as recycled plastic bottles and other waste products that would otherwise end up in landfill. Through ingenious recycling processes, these materials are transformed into high-quality, long-lasting fabrics.
This innovative approach transforms waste into valuable resources and gives a second life to materials that would otherwise be lost. Every pair of barefoot shoes made from this material therefore actively contributes to climate protection.
