These Hiraku Slippers - great for both Indoor or Outdoor wear - by Po-Zu are made in Glastonbury, England. Designed to gradually mould to the foot's shape. They provide excellent breathability to keep your feet dry, and good insulation.
The upper is made from organically tanned woven leather, unlined. The foot-mattress bedding in organically tanned suede. Both leathers are tanned with with vegetable extracts from the bark of Mimosa and Quebracho trees
The foot-mattress filler is 60% coconut husk, and 40% natural latex. The sole is made from 100% natural latex which is pure vegetable rubber made from the milky sap of the Lectae Hevea tree.
Po-Zu use pure natural materials that are as near as possible to their natural state, with the least amount of processing. All are biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals. Organically certified materials are sourced and chosen if available.
Po-Zu avoids harmful glues by stitching their shoes together, also making them more breathable, durable, repairable and recyclable.
Po-Zu means 'pause' in Japanese. Pause, and reflect:
- Our feet bear all our weight, and so deserve the ultimate rest.
- Our planet bears all our waste, and well deserves a rest too.
Po-Zu is the fruit of an obsession to create the ultimate ecological slipper: its over 99 per cent biodegradable, durable, and exceptionally comfortable.
Launched in autumn 2006 as an indoor footwear brand, Po-Zu is designed and constructed around a unique coconut-husk foot mattress that moulds to the shape of your foot.
To complement a biodegradable product Po-Zu came up with a compostable packaging that follows nature's cycles - breakdown and re-birth. The packaging reincarnates into a seed-tray by filling it with compost and planting seeds. As the plant grows, the entire trays can be placed directly in the earth where they eventually biodegrade. The plants are the rebirth. The consumer participates in the cycle that starts with packaging and ends in their garden, spade in hand. Nominated for the UK Green Awards 2006 best packaging.
