Sustainable Materials in Freet Shoes
Freet shoes are made using sustainable, eco-friendly materials designed to minimise environmental impact without compromising comfort, durability or performance.
Our approach focuses on:
- Recycled and repurposed fabrics
-
Natural rubber components
-
Durable, long-lasting footwear
By choosing materials that reduce waste and extend product life, we create shoes that work naturally for your feet and are kinder for the planet.
Below, we explain the key sustainable materials used in Freet shoes, how they’re made and what this means for you.
BottleYarn – Recycled Plastic Bottle Fabric
Technical:
BottleYarn is made from 60 - 80% recycled PET plastic bottles. Post-consumer bottles are collected, cleaned and repurposed into plastic pellets. These are extruded into fine filaments and woven into a lightweight, high-performance yarn.
What that means for you:
This recycled fabric is tough, breathable and comfortable, making it ideal for active and everyday footwear. It creates lightweight, breathable shoes that are easy to clean and built to last.
Shoes in this category include:
CoffeeYarn – Recycled Coffee Ground Fabric
Technical:
CoffeeYarn contains 60 - 70% recycled spent coffee grounds, combined with binding polyester. Used coffee grounds are milled into nano-sized powder, transformed into a polyester-like spinning fluid and processed into a flyknit thread.
What that means for you:
The result is a breathable, fast-drying, durable material with natural antibacterial properties. CoffeeYarn shoes are comfortable, dry quickly, stay fresher for longer and perform well in both sport and everyday use.
Shoes in this category include:
Microfibre – Durable Recycled Performance Material
Technical:
Our microfibre contains 30 - 40% recycled content and continues to evolve as the technology improves. It is made from a tightly woven polyester structure, providing excellent durability, water resistance and easy-care performance.
What that means for you:
Lightweight, waterproof shoes that are easy to wipe clean, dry quickly and stand up to everyday wear.
Shoes in this category include:
Premium Leather – Responsibly Sourced Materials
Technical:
Our leather is independently audited by the Leather Working Group (LWG) and achieves Gold-level certification, ensuring high standards of supplier welfare and more sustainable leather processing, including responsible water and energy use.
What that means for you:
Naturally breathable, long-lasting shoes that age well over time with confidence that the leather is responsibly sourced and processed.

Sustainable Materials, Built to Last
At Freet, sustainability means making durable footwear from better materials, so our shoes are designed to last, not be replaced. By using recycled, natural and responsibly sourced materials, we reduce waste and environmental impact while delivering the comfort and performance Freet is known for.
