Every Little Bit Helps
Every little bit helps, especially when it comes to sustainability for the world we live in. Making changes to the way we do things, even small ones, can add up to a big impact. This is the approach we took with the Circle Vee SE Shoes.
Vans looked at every little bit that goes into making a shoe and made adjustments-from the one-piece knitted natural upper to the sculpted for all-day comfort VR3Cush™ biofoam drop-in midsole and the full-length VR3Waffle™ rubber outsole. We even developed construction methods to reduce glues and excess material.
Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small, all of our efforts add up to positive change. To earn the VR3 Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made up of one or a combination of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.
• The footbed provides ultimate all-day comfort and support with a molded heel cup and arch shape.
• ECOWAFFLE™ OUTSOLE: All of the rubber used to make this outsole (60% of the compound) is regeneratively grown natural rubber sourced from farms utilising agricultural practices that are intended to promote biodiversity, enhance water cycles, improve soil health and/or sequester carbon. This natural rubber compound was developed and engineered to maintain the grip and durability Vans has been known for since ’66.
