footwear companies

After searching for a bunch of footwear companies I ended up sending emails to over a dozen shoe companies. I targeted the skateboarding shoe industry because they happen to use many different types of materials, natural and synthetic. Companies such as SoleTech and DC Shoes have even come up with their own innovations in materials.

Out of those emails I sent out, I received feed back from Nike and SoleTech. I received an email from SoleTech's web developer saying he would forward my information to their footwear designers (SoleTech owns 3 of the largest skateboard shoe companies). Nike responded with some useful links to their Considered Line, their project for incorporating sustainable practices and manufacturing to create a line of environmentally responsible shoes.
