WOOL TREE SUGAR
Mother Nature is our inspiration. By looking at her work, we sometimes find natural materials right before our eyes that we can use in a new way. This is what happened to us with sugar cane, our sugar-sweet and sustainable favorite.
Sugar cane is so self-sufficient that the biomass it produces during processing powers the sugar cane press and fertilizes the field for the next harvest. Now that it has become our SweetFoam® shoe soles, it powers your everyday life and gives you a lively step.

The sweetest thing nature has to offer

The sugar cane for the SweetFoam® shoe soles comes from farms in southern Brazil that rely on rain instead of irrigation systems. As a completely renewable resource, it grows back quickly and removes CO2 from the atmosphere in the process.

Responsible cultivation

Our sugar cane meets the strictest standards for the protection of people and the environment. These standards were developed by Proforest and the farms are inspected by independent third parties.
