What materials are used to make Hades Footwear's shoes & boots?

The main upper materials Hades Footwear uses appear to be vegan micro-suede (a.k.a. "microfibre" - polyester) and vegan leather (theirs is polyurethane-based). They also have several adornments made of various materials, including satin and faux-fur. Unfortunately, Hades Footwear doesn't provide much detail on their website with regard to what materials they use, although on their "About Us" page, they claim that "We also support the vegan lifestyle and do not use animal skin, fur, glue, leather or anything associated with the harm of animals."

Are Hades Footwear's shoes eco-friendly/sustainable?

Sustainability doesn't seem to be top-of-mind for the intensely-styled Hades Footwear, and if it is, they don't do much in the way of communicating their efforts in that regard. We've asked the Hades Footwear team for any details they can provide us with regards to the eco-friendliness of the materials they use to make their shoes and boots, or if they reinvest into introducing the latest and greatest sustainable vegan leather and suede alternatives, and are currently awaiting reply.

Does Hades Footwear use green shipping methods?

It's unclear from their website if Hades Footwear uses net-zero or negative emissions shipping partners, either domestically or internationally. We’ve asked them for clarification, and are currently awaiting reply.

Does Hades Footwear use eco-friendly packaging?

It's unclear from their website if Hades Footwear uses recycled, recyclable, compostable, or other forms of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging. We’ve asked them for details regarding the materials they use for packaging, and are currently awaiting reply.

Are Hades Footwear's shoes & boots recyclable or compostable?

How should I dispose of my worn out Hades Footwear shoes?

We’ve asked the Hades Footwear team if they currently have, or are developing, a shoe recycling program, and are awaiting reply.

Are Hades Footwear's shoes & boots ethically made?

On their website, Hades Footwear doesn't specify where their shoes are made, so it's difficult for us as an outside, non-certifying 3rd party to verify as to whether or not they ensure their factory adheres to all international and local labour laws to provide a safe and fair working environment for their workers. We have reached out to them for clarification, and are currently awaiting reply.

Does Hades Footwear promote ‘slow fashion’ or a ‘circular economy’?

It's unclear which slow fashion (ethically made, long-lasting, small batch production) or circular economy principles Hades Footwear follows as a brand. We have asked them for any details regarding this, and are currently awaiting reply.

Is Hades Footwear a charitable company?

We have asked the Hades Footwear team about any charitable initiatives they're involved with (if any), and are currently awaiting reply, as there is no such information available on their website.
