About Boobamara Vegan Shoes

Is Boobamara intentionally vegan?

Are Boobamara shoes eco-friendly/sustainable?

Does Boobamara use green shipping methods?

The Boobamara team has informed us that for local deliveries they use a motorbike and do deliveries in bulk.

Does Boobamara use eco-friendly packaging?

The Boobamara team has informed us that they send their shoes out in recycled packaging.

Are Boobamara shoes recyclable or compostable?

It’s unclear from the information available on their website if Boobamara’s shoes are recyclable or compostable. However, they do claim that their synthetic leather is biodegradable, although that's most likely a greenwashing statement (while many synthetic fabrics can technically 'degrade', it often takes many years, and simply results in creating microplastics). We have asked for clarification from the Boobamara team and are currently awaiting reply.

How should I dispose of my worn out Boobamara shoes?

We have asked the Boobamara team if they currently have, or are developing, a shoe recycling program, and are awaiting reply. In the meantime, we recommend donating them to someone in need, or taking them to a clothing recycling depot (if available in your city), which can strip them down to their recyclable components.

Where can I buy Boobamara shoes, boots and sandals?

For the time being it looks like Boobamara shoes can only be purchased from their website; from select retailers in California, and from the San Temlo Market in Buenos Aires.

Do Boobamara shoes ever go on sale?

We haven't noticed any sales on their website, or discount codes within their social media or that can be received by signing up to their newsletter (which they don't appear to have).

What materials are used to make Boobamara shoes?

Boobamara uses a mix of media to make their shoes, boots and sandals, including: vegan patent leather; vegan leather; corduroy; upcycled denim; cotton; rubber for their soles, and other materials.

Are Boobamara shoes ethically made?

Yes! Boobamara shoes are handcrafted in Argentina, which means their labourers are protected by the stringent and pro-employee labour laws of that country, which also include strong health and safety regulations.

Does Boobamara promote ‘slow fashion’ or a ‘circular economy’?

Boobamara appears to employ some elements of a circular economy, such as using some natural and some recyclable materials, and using a made-to-order model to cut down on production waste.

Is Boobamara a charitable company?

We have asked the Boobamara team about any charitable initiatives they're involved with (if any), and they have informed us that they currently are not.
