Ponto Shoes are more than just footwear; they are a statement of sustainability, versatility, and social responsibility. The brand firmly believes that small steps taken in the right direction can collectively lead to significant change. Ponto Footwear is unwavering in its commitment to reducing the global carbon footprint, ensuring 100% transparency in its operations, and actively contributing to a cleaner, greener planet.
At the heart of Ponto Footwear’s offerings is their flagship recycled shoe style, the Pacific. These ‘dress sneakers’ are meticulously crafted for comfort, fit well, and are adaptable. Whether it’s for the office, a special occasion, or just a regular day, they are as comfortable as a sneaker but look as good as a dress show.
Ponto shoes have quickly become a favorite among eco-conscious individuals and fashion enthusiasts. Even Good Morning America seems to agree.
Recycled Materials used in Ponto Footwear
The use of recycled scrap leather and biodegradable plant-based soles in their construction highlights Ponto’s dedication to reducing environmental impact. The brand’s pioneering plant-based foam, derived from algae biomass, and sugarcane foam outsoles, hailing from bio-based foam technology, contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet.
Additionally, Ponto incorporates upcycled materials into their shoes, including regenerated tencel fabric lining made from eucalyptus, oak, and birchwood. This lining boasts biodegradability, odor reduction, antimicrobial properties, and moisture absorbency, all of which enhance both comfort and sustainability.
