About
The All Pet Shoe is a fully recyclable shoe designed for football players. While most football boots are made from plastic, leather, resin and glues, the All Pet Shoe is composed a single, recyclable material. The design combines a variety of forms of polyethylene terephthalate (or PET) to create the rigid, flexible and textile parts of the boot. The All Pet Shoe’s material and manufacturing process allow it to enter the same recycling circle as a plastic bottle, thus reducing the waste linked to high-turnover sports equipment.
