A Cleaner Stride
-
Plastic Use
Every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans, rivers, and lakes.
-
Waste
Each year, a huge 2.12 billion tonnes of waste is dumped on our planet.
-
Carbon Emission
The average US household produces 15 - 20 metric tons of CO2 each year.
A Natural Sole
I invite you to meet our partner Camila and learn about the beautiful process of turning “tree milk” into a natural rubber sole.
Sustainability in the Womads DNA
From day one, I knew I wanted to build something I could be proud of—a fashion brand that helps women feel amazing without trashing the planet in the process.
I'm so tired of "fast fashion" that falls apart after three wears and leaves toxic waste in its wake. I refuse to add more thoughtless plastic to the world or wrap our beautiful products in wasteful packaging that goes straight to the dump.
Caring about our impact on the world is at the very core of Womads, it is built into every single decision we make.
While most brands use plastic and synthetic materials for soles, we chose natural rubber made from rubber tree sap - this beautiful, milky white substance called latex.
Here's what makes me so proud: our Colombian partners work directly with local farmers to help reforest Southern Colombia, transforming land that was once used for illegal crops into something life-giving.
You can confidently step in your Womads shoes knowing you're supporting local Colombian farmers, contributing to reforestation, and enjoying a biodegradable and ecofriendly shoe.
Thoughtfully Sourced Leather
We source our premium full-grain leather locally in Colombia to minimize transportation impact. This leather is actually a byproduct of the food industry - we're giving it beautiful new life instead of letting it end up in landfills.
Quality leather is built to last years, and when you're eventually ready to part with it, it's both recyclable and biodegradable.
Smart Packaging You Can Enjoy
I really wanted to avoid the wastefulness of shipping boxes within boxes. That's why your Womads arrive in beautiful cotton dust bags made from recycled materials.
These aren't just packaging - they're useful travel organizers you'll actually want to keep and use.
Our Green Commitment
Our reforestation partners in Colombia are already working to reduce CO2 emissions, but we wanted to go further.
Through our partnership with Corso, you can choose "Green Shipping Protection" when ordering. This protects your package from loss or damage while funding certified carbon offset projects - like preserving old-growth forests in Alaska that provide clean air and wildlife habitat.
