Here is our review of Zebra Oasis, the world’s first 100% recyclable shoes. These shoes also feature recycled CO2-injected soles. I just tried out a pair of Zebra Oasis. The most interesting thing about these shoes is that you can completely unravel them by a single thread for 100% recycling. To do this, you pull out the patented R-ring inside the shoe. The R stands for “Reboot.” Of course, I have not personally tested this, because I enjoy wearing these comfy shoes! They are manufactured by a sustainable lifestyle brand called Zebra Oasis.

Recycled-CO₂-injected Sole
The soles are crafted from 100% recyclable TPU foam. Instead of using harmful chemicals in the foaming process, Zebra Oasis uses innovative gas-assisted technology. Of course, this also reduces existing CO₂.
These shoe soles remain resilient at –10°C. This beats out most other shoes, in which you can expect the soles to harden below 6°C.

Other Environmentally Friendly Aspects of Zebra Oasis Shoes
Zebra Oasis Shoes also offer the following innovative aspects to protect the environment while still keeping your feet comfy:
• They sport the world’s first self-adapting hemp flynit upper: These are comfortable, breathable and durable. And of course, extremely environmentally sustainable.
• No dye is used to make these shoes.
• They are machine-washable and foldable. For me, this makes them perfect travel shoes. Zebra Oasis promises that the shoes will retain their color even after multiple washes.
• The versitile design is intended for all-day wear including traveling, hiking, office, etc. Personally I find them best for home and office, and especially for lazy days around the house. They are soft and cozy like slippers, but they look like shoes.

What’s the Big Deal about Recycling Shoes
Turns out that most shoes cannot be used for recycling, because the parts are all glued together. So they end up in landfills. Or worse still, being burned. This leads to the release of environmentally harmful micro-plastics.
