Following on from yesterday’s ethical theme, Worn Again is another environmentally aware company that makes shoes for people who want good-looking feet, without a guilty conscience. Everything from old coffee bags, car seats, reclaimed jeans and raggedy old suits are given a new lease of life as hip, edgy trainers.

Worn Again explains that making shoes is one of the most resource-intensive, polluting and toxic industries there is. That’s why the company is committed to improving the social, economic and environmental conditions in the regions where they operate, while at the same building a profitable business.

The Bigger Shoe trainers above have been created to celebrate the Big Issue’s 15th birthday. Materials include firemen’s trousers, scrap car seat leather, jeans, men’s shirts and recycled rubber. £6 from the sale of every pair will go directly to the Big Issue.
