Dubs Universe uses entirely recycled materials to make its shoes, including sugarcane and reclaimed plastic bottles. This makes them an environmentally-friendly option compared to traditional sneakers, which are often made from synthetic materials that take hundreds of years to decompose. Once a child outgrows a pair of Loop Lites, there’s no need to consign them to the landfill either. Instead, they can be returned to Dubs’s partner charity Sal’s Shoes, an organisation dedicated to combating global shoe poverty.
