The 100% sustainable hemp upper is made of high grade hemp and provides year-round comfort and support thanks to the plants natural benefits: cool in the summer and warm in the winter; anti-microbial; lightweight; water-resistant; UV-resistant; and extremely durable.
Our shoes soles are made of EcoPure® and incorporate Rackle’s proprietary PLEXUS ARCH™ design. EcoPure® foam promotes bio-degradation – it begins to break down after 1 year in active enclosed landfill conditions. The PLEXUS ARCH™ with its raised ribbed arch design stimulates the foot where veins in the arch area meet (plexus) during forward motion (e.g. walking, etc.). PLEXUS ARCH™ technology offers recovery and comfort for people on the go.
