Sneakers, Boots & Co. – Your shoes leave this carbon footprint

Date:

Whether made of cheap, disposable plastic or expensive, durable leather – every shoe pollutes the environment in one way or another. If you pay attention to the material, the manufacturing method, the repair options and thus the lifespan of the product when purchasing, you can reduce the ecological footprint. As our analysis shows, this is often easier said than done.

In the morning, half past nine in St. Pölten, sometime last October. Enter the door and look around. Quickly spotted an object of desire. Immediately approached, appropriate, tied up. Just tested and found: sits, fits, has air. So I hurried to the checkout, declined the impregnation offer, paid almost 70 euros – and left the door again with the new pair of sneakers.
