Is Freerangers an intentionally vegan brand?

Freerangers appears to be an intentionally vegan brand, rather than one that uses vegan materials out of convenience, or for other reasons. According to the brand, "we research all our component parts to ensure no animal involvement and all our products are licensed to carry the Vegan Society sunflower logo."

What materials are used to make Freerangers?

Freerangers usually uses Lorica (vegan leather) as their uppers, but has recently introduced recycled denim to some models. Their insoles are typically made of Bontex and foam, or polyester. Their laces are either cotton or polyester. Fortunately, each shoe listing on their website will give an overview of the materials used to make it.

Are Freerangers shoes eco-friendly/sustainable?

Freerangers shoes are at least a little eco-friendly, as they do incorporate recycled, and high-quality materials into their designs, although they could probably improve the eco-friendliness of their shoes by using organic cotton instead of traditional cotton, and replacing polyester with a more sustainable option. They do not currently use any tools or programs that can quantify and share the eco-friendliness of their products, other than sharing general breakdowns of the materials used in each shoe.

Does Freerangers use green shipping methods?

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

Does Freerangers use eco-friendly packaging?

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

Are Freerangers shoes recyclable or compostable?

It’s unclear from the information available on their website if Freerangers shoes are recyclable or compostable. We have asked for clarification from the Freerangers team, and are currently awaiting reply.

How should I dispose of my worn out Freerangers shoes?

Freerangers currently offers a refurbishing service for their shoes, which includes new soles and insoles, new laces, re-lasting and cleaning. With regard to their absolute end of life, the Get it Vegan team recommends 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 Freerangers shoes?

For the time being it looks like Freerangers shoes can only be purchased from their website, or from their social channels. We've asked them if they have plans to work with retailers, and are currently awaiting reply.

Do Freerangers shoes ever go on sale?

We haven’t noticed any sales for Freerangers shoes when visiting their site and perusing their social channels. Currently, their newsletter does not offer a discount code when subscribing to it.

Are Freerangers shoes ethically made?

Yes! Freerangers' shoes are handcrafted in their own workshop in England, which means their labourers are protected by the stringent labour laws of the United Kingdom, which also include strong health and safety regulations.

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

Freerangers appears to employ several elements of a circular economy, such as using increasingly sustainable and high-quality materials, having a shoe repair program, using a 'made-to-order' production system, and employing fair labour.

Is Freerangers a charitable company?

We have asked the Freerangers 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.

Freerangers Product Range

Freerangers makes men's and women's shoes, boots and sandals, mainly with vegan leather, although they've recently introduced recycled denim models into their catalogue. Their shoes are made-to-order, and can be made in a variety of colours (21 at last count - some of which are exclusive to Freerangers), and feature a moccasin-style U-shape stitching around the top of the shoe. They also offer a bespoke shoe making service.
