THEY DON'T BIODEGRADE ON YOUR FEET!
JOHNNY SHOES NEED CONSISTENT EXPOSURE TO AN UNDERGROUND ENVIRONMENT BEFORE THEY BIODEGRADE!
HOW JOHNNY CAME TO BE
Once we saw how big a problem traditional footwear is, it became apparent that a solution was needed. With a bit of hard work and lot of love, we're very proud to show the world our solution to this huge environmental problem!
THE HIDDEN TRUTH IN SHOES
For a long time shoes were uncomfortable so humans developed soft, cushiony materials. What we didn't realize was that these plastic compounds would stick around in the environment for up to 1,000 years after we throw them away!
WE KNEW WE HAD TO ACT QUICKLY
We knew we had to act quickly since 20 billion pairs of shoes are produced each year. After years research and testing, a revolutionary new compound that retains the comfort of a modern sneaker while also taking care of our planet.
OUR SOLUTION
Johnny uses our revolutionary new compound that biodegrades underground in 3 years rather than the typical 1,000 years of other athletic shoes. Then it hit us, if you're going to plant your shoes anyway, why not have them grow into a tree!?
HOW IT WORKS
Every pair of Johnny shoes is equipped with our revolutionary sole design. It's super comfortable and cushiony but also houses a hidden seed that will eventually grow into an apple tree
- BIODEGRADABLE MIDSOLE / SEALThis soft, cushiony part of the shoe provides support and biodegrades in only 3 short years once planted underground!
- FERTILIZER CASINGThis casing acts to protect the seed during manufacturing and provide it with a viable food source once it's released into the soil.
- APPLE SEEDEach half pair of Johnnies houses a hidden seed by the arch area of the foot. You won't feel it as you wear it, but it will germinate a few years after being planted in the ground.
- OUTSOLEOur natural latex rubber outsole has a grip pattern designed for maximum traction while also biodegrading at the same rate as the rest of your shoe!
For every pair sold, we'll plant a tree too!
We realize not everyone has access to a backyard to plant their shoes. We're in this together. For every pair sold, Johnny will plant a tree on your behalf!
Slip on & go!
Tying up your laces is a pain, we get it. That's why every pair of Johnnies is equipped with a collapsible heel so you can slip in and out of them easily. The recycled lycra easily folds down as you slip them on, then bounces back up to cup your heel and keep your shoes securely in place.
No more wet socks!
If there's one thing we all agree upon, it's that wet feet are the worst. To solve this issue, we're equipping every pair of Johnny shoes with a coating of natural beeswax. When applied to the organic cotton canvas, the beeswax acts as a rainproof barrier that wicks away droplets without polluting the environment with harmful chemicals.
They're the most comfortable shoes you'll own!
One of the most common questions we hear is: "But are they comfortable?" Great news! Johnnies are super comfortable! The midsole is comprised of similar materials found in memory foam mattresses and is super light! The cork insole molds to your foot over time so it becomes more comfortable with every step.
Rest easy knowing Johnnies are animal-friendly!
Johnny shoes are cruelty free. All of the components are vegan with the exception of the beeswax water-resistant coating!
Say goodbye to smelly feet!
Not only are we building an environmentally friendly shoe, we also want it to be as comfortable as possible. That's why we chose natural cork insoles!
Cork insoles are shock resistant and provide cushioning while running. As well as being breathable, light, and moisture wicking, cork molds to your feet over time to give you custom support based on your foot's natural contours. Lastly, cork is naturally anti-bacterial to eliminate foul foot odors.
Super lightweight!
Johnny shoes are made with the highest grade materials possible. We've developed a revolutionary new outsole compound that not only biodegrades but is also light as a feather. You'll be amazed at how durable they are considering they weigh in at only 335 grams!
Only the best organic cotton goes into the uppers!
One of the most sustainable materials on planet Earth and grown without the use of harsh chemicals. To replace chemicals, organic cotton farming relies on growing cover crops, applying organic fertilizers and compost, using beneficial insects, or opting for human labor for weed control.
Not only do these growing methods have a reduced impact on the environment, but many actually benefit it.
