Here are some more details from the Figtree Factory Studios:
01M OneMoment, a brand of FIGTREE FACTORY STUDIO S.L., based in Valencia (Spain). We developed, produce and sell the first “100% biodegradable shoes”. Made in Spain, our shoes are made for travel, outdoor and indoor activities. It’s easy to carry because of its ultracompacted size.
01M OneMoment is a new shoe “Made in Spain”, alternative to traditional solutions. It integrates useful, design, functionality and environmental respect.
A modern, sober and elegant style, inspired in Nature, combining technology and designed to offer maximum comfort and grip every step.
Product essence comes from the millenary Amazon Wild Forest indigenous inhabitant’s concept, who painted their feet soles with natural latex, obtained on the Hevea trees, this enabling their movements through the jungle during rain season. This fine latex layer degrades naturally going back to the local environment once used.

This enables higher comfort, skin tight feeling and correct breathing all at the same time. This is a Carbo-compensated process , allowing to reduce CO2 emissions. Optimized machinery and production methods contribute to reduce energy consumption, consequently its impact on our environment.
