Bio-Based Materials and Amazonian Rubber
True to its ecological standards, VEJA incorporates sustainable and traceable components at the heart of the Etna's construction:
-
Eco-Designed E.V.A. Insole: To ensure soft, anatomical cushioning throughout the day, the insole combines 57% bio-based E.V.A. (notably derived from sugarcane) and 11% recycled E.V.A..
-
Restructured Rubber Outsole: Designed to provide excellent grip on a multitude of terrains, the outsole incorporates 50% wild Amazonian rubber, harvested fairly, combined with 26% mineral silica for increased abrasion resistance.
Premium Brazilian Suede and Water-Repellent Protection
The choice of the upper and lining reflects highly controlled tanning expertise:
-
Soft and Ethical Suede: Crafted from the underside of sanded leather to achieve a soft and velvety finish to the touch, the upper comes from selected farms in Rio Grande do Sul. Tanning is carried out in Brazil, without any harmful chemicals, with a reasoned and optimized management of water.
-
PFC-Free Water-Repellent Treatment: To cope with unexpected weather, the suede benefits from a coating of water-repellent oils without PFC chemicals, effectively protecting your sandals against light rain or morning humidity.
