Rackle is a US based footwear brand built on the principle of developing eco-friendly footwear to help lessen the shoe industry’s impact on the planet, one pair at a time. According to the US Department of the Interior, over 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away each year in the United States alone. Most shoe waste is comprised of non-biodegradable plastics, foam, leather and petroleum-based rubber materials that can take up to 80 – 150 years to naturally decompose. At Rackle, our goal is to produce comfortable, lightweight shoes, made with sustainable plant-based uppers and foam soles that accelerates bio-degradation.
