Paper-Feet: Save the World, Save your Sole

The amount of billboard advertisement vinyl discarded every year is enough to cover the state of Michigan. We repurpose the durable, waterproof material into useful eco-beach adventure apparel. Using local, ethical labor we build functional & affordable gear like "paper-feet" - paper-thin sandals for everyday exploration. Join the barefoot revolution!
