Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing

We're considerate of the materials used in our products and are working hard to reduce our impact.

TREADLIGHTLY SPORTS SHOE RECYCLING
Accent Group, our parent company, is a proud member of the Australian Sporting Goods Association.

Each year, over 25 million pairs of sports shoes are imported into Australia, with only 1% estimated to be recycled. To help reduce the amount of footwear in landfill, we partnered with the ASGA and support its TreadLightly program.

TreadLightly is a national recycling initiative that takes unwanted lifestyle footwear and responsibly recycles it in Australia to give in new life. Reclaimed materials from each shoe are broken down into crumb, which is then used to manufacture new products including gym mats, floors, and playgrounds.

You can find more information, and collection points near you, on the TreadLightly website.

We prioritise quality, ethics, comfort, and style, ensuring our products and manufacturers meet our standards.
