Admittedly, the running shoe market is far from sustainable. Millions of shoes get chucked away each year, and there is no pressure on companies to change this as most runners don’t prioritise environmentally friendliness over performance.
Thankfully, some companies will occasionally do the right thing, anyway, which is what happened with the VEJA Confor 3. These bulky running shoes are made mostly from recycled and bio-based materials and are pretty comfortable to wear, too.
