A Brief History of Cork
Cork has been used for centuries, with its roots tracing back to ancient Mediterranean cultures. Portugal, home to the world's largest cork oak forests, has a long tradition of harvesting cork, making it a vital part of our cultural and economic heritage. The unique properties of cork have made it a preferred material for various uses, from wine stoppers to insulation, and now, to stylish and comfortable footwear.
Why Cork is Good for Footwear
Cork is a remarkable material, especially for footwear, thanks to its unique characteristics. It is elastic and compressible, providing excellent cushioning and support for your feet. This natural flexibility ensures that our cork flip flops mold to the shape of your feet, offering unmatched comfort with every step.
Cork: A Renewable Resource
One of the most incredible aspects of cork is that it is a renewable resource. Harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, the process does not harm the tree. In fact, the bark regenerates, allowing for repeated harvests every 9-12 years. This sustainable practice ensures that cork forests thrive, supporting biodiversity and absorbing carbon dioxide, which helps combat climate change.
Why Cork is Eco-Friendly
Choosing cork means choosing an eco-friendly future. Cork production has a minimal environmental footprint. The cork oak forests act as carbon sinks, reducing greenhouse gases. Additionally, our cork flip flops and sandals are recyclable, making it easy for you to dispose of them responsibly at the end of their long life.
