Every world shoe is made from EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam. It is lightweight and has excellent cushioning and shock absorption properties. It is also durable, flexible and water resistant making it great for many wearing occasions.

The World Shoe is treated to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi which keeps them fresher and more hygienic.

Cleaning your World Shoes is easy. First remove any loose dirt. With a sponge or soft cloth, use mild soap or detergent and warm water to gently wipe the entire surface of the shoe. Rinse with clean water and place in a well-ventilated area to air dry naturally.

First, the injection molding process used to make the World Shoe is generally more energy-efficient compared to other foam materials because it requires less energy to manufacture reducing the overall carbon footprint. Second, this process produces minimal material waste which contributes to their Eco-friendliness. Lastly, the World Shoe is made of an EVA variant that enhances biodegradation which means when your World Shoe reaches end-of-life :-/ and is discarded, it will break down naturally over time, further reducing their negative environmental impact.

Our business model is holistic in that we are not only focused on selling shoes. We are also committed to improving peoples lives. We know that if we are able to protect people’s feet from the foot borne diseases that kill them, we are improving not only their health but their ability to continue their journey in life, help themselves and help their community to thrive. Further, we are building factories in places that can really use the kinds of jobs that we create helping those individuals and communities as well. So when you buy the World Shoe, you are joining our vision for a world with zero shoeless people and all of what that can bring.
