Woolybubs wants to get rid of your baby’s waste. Shoe waste, that is. With the help of biodegradable fabric and a pot of boiling water, the company has created a kids shoe that is completely dissolvable.
Named “The Newbie,” the shoe solves two key issues: the collection of kids’ outgrown footwear that accumulates over the years and the 40 years it can take for a shoe to decompose. Some parents may engage in eco friendly practices such as donating old shoes or saving them as hand-me-downs, but The Newbie gets rid of the waste altogether. All you have to do is boil the shoe in water for 40 minutes, and it will completely melt away.
