In terms of comfort and sustainability, the shoes are made from organic canvas fabric and 50% recycled polyester fiber trim, and also feature Vans bio-based VR3Cush™ foam insoles that pass the ASTM D6866 measurement standard -16; Handled, the shoes are finished with a custom Nicole McLaughlin tag and custom collar for easy portability and storage.
