[About GENUINS' Unique 4-Layer Footbed] ■ Anatomy and Comfort: GENUINS' unique footbed, developed based on anatomy, is adopted for most products. Its highly cushioned and ergonomically superior shape, which supports foot health, promises comfortable walking. ■ Lightness and Flexibility: The harmonious combination of natural cork and rubber is a key point for the insole. Natural cork, designed based on human anatomy, enhances the fit and stability of the sole, also functioning as an insulator. Rubber provides flexibility and absorbs shock during walking. ■ Sustainability: The cork used in the insoles is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without harming the trees, making it a renewable material. Furthermore, jute is easy to cultivate, making it a highly sustainable natural fiber. ■ Durability: Made 100% in Spain using high-quality natural materials and suppliers from Spain, the footbeds are also highly durable. [GENUINS' Environmentally Conscious Initiatives] GENUINS actively incorporates environmentally conscious materials and produces them in its own factory in Elche, Spain. We also practice various environmentally conscious initiatives surrounding our products, such as creating a safe and healthy working environment, producing goods with energy saving through the use of renewable energy, and Amazon rainforest conservation efforts. Environmentally Conscious Materials and Packaging [Main Materials Used] ■ PET Felt: A 100% recycled PET bottle material made from PET bottles collected from the ocean. ■ Natural Cork and Rubber: Cork extracted from cork oak trees in managed dehesas (pastures) in Spain, and rubber made through natural processes, are 100% natural materials. Everything is recycled and reused to avoid waste. ■ Leather: We only use leather sourced through suppliers belonging to the LWG (Leather Working Group) (※1) with gold status, and comply with appropriate animal welfare practices. ■ 80% Animal-Free: 80% of GENUINS' materials are free from animal-derived ingredients. ■ PETA Certified Materials: The vegan materials used have obtained PETA certification from the American animal welfare organization 'People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' as proof that they do not contain any animal-derived materials or ingredients. ■ Recycled Polyester: We use recycled polyester, which reduces CO2 emissions to one-third compared to polyester manufactured by conventional methods. ■ Chrome-Free, Solvent-Free: GENUINS footwear does not contain harmful chemicals, and the adhesives are water-based and solvent-free. We also partner with suppliers who meet the conditions of the MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List). ■ Sustainable Packaging: Product packaging is part of product quality assurance and experience, but we recognize the potential for waste generation. Therefore, GENUINS manufactures packaging using 100% recycled cardboard and paper, minimizing the use of ink (environmentally friendly inks).
