What is the environmental benefit of our vegan shoes for women?
COG's vegan women's shoes embody a vision of fashion that combines aesthetics, comfort and respect for the environment. By choosing our shoes, we actively participate in reducing our carbon footprint and promoting ethical consumption. Our ethical sneakers, eco-friendly boots, and other models such as durable, leather-free high-top sneakers Wallace are made from innovative and sustainable materials, essentially recycled. The COG's eco-responsible approach translates into the use of plastic bottles fished out of the Mediterranean Sea, which after a careful recycling process, make up our interior linings as well as the laces of our vegan sneakers.
This initiative not only allows clean the oceans, but also to give new life to materials which, without treatment, would certainly have ended up in nature and polluted our planet.
Reduction of CO2 emissions
One of the main advantages of vegan shoes COG Women's lies in their positive impact on reducing carbon emissions. By adopting environmentally friendly manufacturing practices, we minimize the ecological impact of our shoes.Unlike the usual practices of fast fashion, which generate massive quantities of greenhouse gases, our approach favors the manufacturing of models in small quantities, in addition to reusing waste, such as recyclable rubber scraps that integrate our soles, or plant waste such as grape marc which composes our Richelieu Aiko.
COG emphasizes the use of recycled materials. Indeed, the recycled fibers used to make our eco-responsible sneakers and our city shoes ecological, contribute to reducing the need for raw materials, thus reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions associated with their extraction and processing.
The commitment of COG towards eco-responsible fashion goes beyond simply using recycled materials. Our manufacturing processes also limit the use of toxic substances and promote non-toxic dyes, which contributes to the preservation of nature and a healthier environment for humans, various animal species and for all biodiversity.

Choosing European manufacturing allows us to reduce transport distances, which reduces the carbon footprint of our products, in addition to allowing us to work closely with the production staff in our workshops on site in PortugalThe geographical proximity of the production plants also ensures better traceability of the materials used and total transparency on the manufacturing conditions, essential elements for conscious, responsible fashion as a committed brand.
European know-how in footwear is reflected in the quality of each pair we offer for sale. The local artisans who produce our shoes rely on expertise forged over several generations. Traditional techniques that they use are associated with modern techniques and technologies, as well as innovations such as vegan leathers and vegetable leathers to create eco-responsible shoes that are both elegant and durable.
