Sneakers for other fashion brands to be more exact. We made around a million pairs for them. We have seen the industry from the inside, things most people will never get to see.

The materials used to make shoes are toxic to nature, and we forgot that humans are a part of nature, and nature is a part of us.

6 years ago we set out to redesign sneakers from bottom up to make them compatible with nature. MIRET was born.

Outsoles, midsoles, insoles, sponges, synthetic textiles, glues... they are all petroleum derivatives. And will probably end up as micro-plastics.

85% of world leather is Chromium-tanned, and Chromium is 4th most toxic pollutant in the world. We could talk hours about leather.

20.000.000.000 pairs of plastic and leather shoes were manufactured just in 2019. That's enough to circle the planet with 300 lines of shoes.

Shoes are nearly impossible to recycle. Less then 5% of shoes are recycled. Fact.

Footwear has a detrimental effect on the environment. Fact.

Not only can they substitute synthetic materials, but in many ways they are far better than plastic.

"If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way." 

MIRET sneakers are crafted out of 10 amazing plants: hemp, kenaf, linen, cork, oak wood, corn, wood cellulose, jute, eucalyptus, rubber tree and New Zealand wool.

Soft and cosy from the moment you put them on. Breathable, lightweight and flexible with a super low impact on nature.

The MIRET outsole is softer and more flexible than any other rubber out there. It is pure 100% natural latex harvested from rubber trees.

Long walks - approved. MIRET ultra-light insole is ergonomically shaped. It is made out of cork throughout. It is even certified for food safety, so your dog can chew on them safely.
