Form and Fauna [5] is a brand new shoe line that respects both the animal kingdom and style in their design process – pleasing vegans, environmentalists, and fashionistas alike. The shoes are handcrafted utilizing ethical materials, such as the best quality Italian [6] synthetics. What does that mean exactly? Apparently no noxious substances remain in the final product, which is biodegradable. For the heels, bamboo and regenerative wood is used. The shoes have recycled fiber insoles and either rubber latex or compressed fermented oak outsoles. Finally, all of these good materials come together with the use of water-based glue resulting in a durable shoe that kicks your vegan style up a notch.
