PlanetWalkers, the most comfortable and eco-friendly shoes on the planet, maximize the use of environmentally sensitive materials while providing premium comfort benefits. All PlanetWalkers are made with leather from ISO14001 and British Leather Consortium (BLC) certified tanneries that have made a commitment to sustainable improvements in their processes.
Removable footbeds with molded arch support are made with Ortholite and recycled ground car tire. Innovative use of eco-friendly materials like recycled car tires, bamboo fabric, cork, recycled compression molded EVA, and recycled metal alloys make PlanetWalkers the leader in sustainability in comfort footwear.
"PlanetWalkers are for those who want to tread lightly on the planet without compromising comfort and style," said Angel Martinez, CEO of Deckers Outdoor Corp. "The Walking Company is the ultimate venue for premium comfort footwear and we're very pleased that their 200 stores and online presence will serve as the launch vehicle for this exciting new line of planet friendly comfort shoes."
The Walking Company proudly supports the Sierra Club's efforts to preserve and protect the planet. "Our club has a century-old commitment to exploring nature on foot and planet friendly comfort footwear is an important step in lessening the impact on the environment," said Johanna O'Kelley, director of licensing for the Sierra Club.
"We appreciate the support The Walking Company has provided our organization and we are excited for the opportunity to help educate consumers on great ways to explore, enjoy and protect the planet."
