A sustainable favourite the 803, recycled

Our most popular model is the Grisport 803. It is popular because of its fit, its rugged look and long service life. Soon to be added to this list is the ‘sustainable’ characteristic. By the end of 2022, the recycled version of the 803 will be launched.

For almost every part of the shoe, our design team has found a recycled alternative that is not inferior to the original materials with regard to quality and comfort. Quite the task, especially once you realise that the 803 consists of around 25 different parts.

Leather Working Group

As from 2022, we will no longer be designing new models with leather. For existing models that already use leather, we will replace it with leather that has Leather Working Group (LWG) certification. LWG is committed to improving the environmental control and well-being in the leather industry. By the end of 2023, all the leather in our products must have a Leather Working Group certification.

RPET shoe laces

Making our product range more sustainable requires a custom-made approach for each shoe model. Each model is put together differently and is made from different materials. There are, however, changes that we can implement in the entire product range immediately such as replacing all shoe laces with a version made from 100% recycled PET. This has already been done for almost all models. Only the Reebok Work models still have the original shoe laces.
