What are our brands doing?
Browse the brands we carry and open a card to see what each publicly reports about materials, circularity, repair, responsible sourcing, certifications, packaging and waste reduction.
Adidas
Adidas
Reports substantial recycled and sustainably sourced renewable material use, including very high recycled-polyester use, while developing more textile-to-textile recycling and recycled EVA/rubber.
Altra
Altra
VF Corporation reports group-wide environmental and responsible-material programs, but current Altra-specific public detail is not strong enough for us to generalize across every Altra product.
Amphipod
Amphipod
Offers an Eco-Luxe line and selected lower-impact material choices. We keep sustainability claims product-specific rather than brand-wide.
ASICS
ASICS
Targets replacement of standard polyester with recycled polyester and broader take-back programs; selected products also use recycled PET and bio-based cushioning materials.
Bogner
Bogner
Reports recycled materials, ECONYL® regenerated nylon, organic cotton and a Circular Initiative focused on longer use and reuse.
Brooks
Brooks
Reports broad recycled and/or bio-based material adoption, footwear-material waste diversion, and Brooks ReStart to extend the life of gently used shoes.
CEP
CEP
We did not find enough current public environmental reporting for a broad CEP brand-level claim. Product materials should be evaluated individually.
Close 2 UR Heart
Close 2 UR Heart
Products are designed and made in the brand's Glens Falls, New York studio. We do not treat local production alone as an environmental sustainability claim.
Cotopaxi
Cotopaxi
Uses deadstock, recycled materials and responsible-material standards. Del Día repurposes unused fabric, and the brand reports eliminating intentionally added PFAS from products.
Craft
Craft
Selected products use recycled fibers and other lower-impact materials, but we keep claims tied to the product rather than the full assortment.
Feetures!
Feetures!
Has a sustainable-sock assortment using REPREVE® recycled fiber and has documented efforts to reduce conventional plastic-heavy packaging in selected packs.
Harricana
Harricana
Upcycling is central to the brand, transforming existing fur, cashmere, denim, scarves, jackets and other materials into new products.
HOKA
HOKA
Through Deckers reporting, HOKA has increased recycled polyester and is working toward more recycled or renewable nylon; selected footwear also uses sugarcane-derived EVA and recycled textiles.
Jogology
Jogology
We did not find enough current public environmental reporting for a broad brand-level claim. Product-specific materials should drive labeling.
Krimson Klover
Krimson Klover
Uses recycled and responsibly sourced fibers in parts of the assortment; we keep claims product-specific until stronger current brand-wide reporting is available.
Mizuno
Mizuno
Reports recycled polyester, plant-derived and algae-based materials in selected products, plus lifecycle assessment, durability/repair strategies and collection/recycling initiatives.
Mount to Coast
Mount to Coast
We did not find enough current public environmental reporting for a broad company-level claim. Product materials and verified certifications are the better guide.
Näak
Näak
Current public environmental detail was not sufficient for a brand-wide summary. Ingredient, packaging and material claims should be treated individually.
Nathan
Nathan
Provides extensive product information, but current company-level environmental reporting is limited. We keep claims product-specific.
New Balance
New Balance
Targets 100% preferred polyester by 2030 and reports work on preferred leather, emissions reduction, repair, recycling and circular systems.
Nike
Nike
Move to Zero focuses on lower-impact materials, recycled inputs and circular solutions, including material platforms designed to reduce carbon impact.
Oiselle
Oiselle
Its fabric directory includes recycled-polyester textiles and bluesign®-approved materials, with supplier work around sourcing, trims, packaging and waste reduction.
On
On
Reports growing preferred-material and recycled/renewable midsole content. Cyclon™ and material innovation are central parts of its circularity strategy.
OOFOS
OOFOS
OOFOS prominently reports charitable/social-impact giving. We do not translate that into an environmental product claim without stronger environmental reporting.
OS1st
OS1st
Current public environmental reporting is limited. Sustainability claims should be tied to individual products, materials or packaging when documented.
Peuterey
Peuterey
Reports bluesign® partnership, GRS recycled materials, RDS down and RWS wool, plus repair/care, durability, traceability and circular-economy practices.
PUMA
PUMA
Reports extensive recycled polyester and certified/recycled footwear components, with 2030 goals for more recycled fibers, fiber-to-fiber recycling and circular design.
Rabbit
Rabbit
Some products use recycled fibers, but current public information is not strong enough to generalize across the entire assortment.
Reebok
Reebok
Offers apparel and footwear using recycled materials in parts of the assortment. We keep the claim tied to specific products and materials.
Roll Recovery
Roll Recovery
We did not find enough current public environmental reporting to make a broad Roll Recovery sustainability claim.
Royal Robbins
Royal Robbins
Has emphasized durable apparel and preferred fibers in parts of its assortment; we keep the sustainability claim product-specific.
Saucony
Saucony
Documents products using recycled, natural and other lower-impact materials, plus recycled/FSC paper in hangtags and recycled paper in shoeboxes.
SCOTT
SCOTT
Its re-source label uses defined material thresholds for recycled or certified renewable content and excludes PFC-based durable water-repellent finishes.

Smartwool
Pursues regenerative wool and recycled synthetics. Second Cut™ collects old socks and manufacturing scraps for recycled/upcycled products, alongside resale efforts.
Sugoi
Sugoi
We did not find enough current public environmental reporting for a broad SUGOi claim. Product-specific fiber information is the better guide.

Provides detailed product/manufacturing information, but current environmental reporting is not sufficient for a broad brand-level sustainability statement.
Topo Athletic
Topo Athletic
Describes reducing unnecessary materials and manufacturing steps, recycling/upcycling products and packaging, and supporting conservation work.
Tribal
Tribal
Current public environmental reporting is not sufficient for a broad claim. Individual fiber and material details remain the better basis for labeling.
Turtle Fur
Turtle Fur
Identifies selected styles made with recycled materials, including 100% recycled polyester and recycled polyester/nylon blends. We keep the claim tied to those styles.
Vivobarefoot
Vivobarefoot
Builds circularity around repair, refurbishment and resale through Revivo and uses recycled, natural and bio-based materials in parts of its range.
Vuori
Vuori
Reports growing preferred-fiber use, and its material standards reference GRS, RCS, OCS, RWS and RDS certifications; several signature fabrics contain high recycled-content percentages.

Research note: “Limited public detail” means we did not find enough current information during this review to support a broad environmental claim; it does not mean the brand has no sustainability work. Brand programs and product materials change, so this guide will be reviewed periodically.
Brand practices are context. Product details are the proof.
Use this guide to understand the bigger picture, then look at the actual product's materials, certifications and design. When you're finished with a pair, our Better Bins program gives eligible footwear and fitness apparel another pathway beyond the trash.
