These innovative shoes, made from natural and recycled materials, offer a sustainable alternative to conventional leather shoes. They are ideal for everyday wear, leisure activities and even light hikes or via ferrata tours.

These vegan sneakers are PETA accredited as VEGAN and guarantee that no animals were harmed or exploited in their production. MoEa's GEN1 range is a prime example of versatility and adaptability, as they seamlessly adapt to any occasion - be it a relaxed walk in the park or a spontaneous adventure in the city. The shoes are produced in Europe under fair conditions and with a lower CO2footprint, as confirmed by a study by the FairlyMade agency.
Handmade in Portugal, the Velcro Corn Full White sneakers are made from a combination of 55% grape resin and 45% water-PU for the upper, recycled rubber for the sole and a blend of bamboo and polyester for the lining. The use of organic cotton for the laces and recycled polyester for the labels further underlines MoEa's commitment to sustainability. The glue is vegan and water-based, and even the packaging is made from FSC-certified cardboard.

Technologies and manufacturing processes

// WHY GRAPE WASTE IS BETTER THAN ANIMAL SKIN //
The wine industry in Italy produces tons of wine every year, and the wine waste is usually thrown away. The grape waste is mixed with water-based PU and applied to a recycled polyester fabric to create a leather-like material. The use of recycled plastics not only limits the production of new plastics, which are massively destroying our planet, but also frees the earth from waste products and gives them a new life.
// 92% LESS CARBON THAN LEATHER //
Our life cycle assessment, created by the certified FAIRLY MADE® solution, shows that our GrapeSkin emits 4.46 kg C02 per m², compared to 61 kg C02 per m² for animal leather. 3 kg of grape waste is contained in one pair of sneakers. As VEGEA does more and more research, they can improve their production. Their latest materials contain 55% grape waste, which means that the other materials have been reduced proportionally.
