About People Footwear
People Footwear is a PETA-approved vegan brand, for which there is very little information available online. They hold a number of trademarks, including for their proprietary materials. We've reached out to them to get clarification in a number of key areas, such as where their shoes are made, and what social and environmental policies they have.
Are their shoes waterproof?
They appear to be, but the product descriptions don't say. We've reached out to them for clarification, and are awaiting reply.What materials are used to make their shoes?
On their website, People Footwear will give a general overview of the materials used to make each shoe (most of the time), within that product's description. Depending on the shoe or sandal, they use their trademarked Ezy-Brzy™ upper technology (3D-printed paneling over highly breathable mesh - uppers), Skylite™ (their own foam - uppers), SuperCush™ (sock-liner), and rubber (soles).Are their shoes eco-friendly/sustainable?
It's difficult to assess the eco-friendliness of People Footwear's shoes, as we don't know the exact composition of their shoes. With that said, they do make mention of using some recycled materials, but don't elaborate much. They also claim to use 'no waste' production. We've reached out to their team for clarification and are awaiting reply.Does People Footwear use green shipping methods?
It's unclear from their website if People 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 People Footwear use eco-friendly packaging?
It's unclear from their website if they use 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.Where can I buy People Footwear shoes?
People Footwear shoes and sandals can be purchased from their website, and can be shipped to an expanding variety of countries.

We haven’t noticed any sales for their footwear when visiting their site and perusing their social channels.Where are People Footwear shoes made?
There’s no information available on the their website with regard to where their shoes are made. We’ve reached out to the People Footwear team for details, and are awaiting reply.Are their shoes made with fair labour?
On their website, the brand does not make mention of where their shoes are made - as such, it's difficult for us as an outside, non-certifying 3rd party to verify whether or not they ensure their factory enforces all international and local labour laws, regulations and fair working standards to provide a safe and fair working environment for their workers. We've reached out to them for clarification, and are awaiting reply.Is People Footwear a charitable company?
We’ve asked their 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.Are their shoes recyclable?
It’s unclear from the information available on their website if People Footwear’s shoes are recyclable or compostable. We’ve asked for clarification from the People Footwear team, and are currently awaiting reply.Related Brands
