We have tested our products and vegan materials for over a year and they are as robust and durable as leather. Biomaterials have passed the flexibility and abrasion resistance tests and have shown their robustness with more than 50.000 cycles (same as leather).

You can also check our product reviews to see how many customers are satisfied with their products.

We denounce the production of leather as one of the most cruel towards animals and an environmentally damaging industry today.

In order to maintain your pair in its original state you can use a neutral soap and a ​​damp cloth.

No, putting them in the washing machine would irretrievably damage your MoEa sneakers.

Our shoes generally fit in a standard way, but if you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. This will allow you to feel perfectly comfortable and add an insole if needed. For more information, I invite you to visit our size chart !

Our sneaker models are unisex and available in sizes from 35 to 46.
They fit perfectly to the shape of your foot, providing optimal comfort throughout the day!

To avoid the negative impacts of leather, we find out that waste of fruits and plants is a solution to avoid animal material and reduce our carbon footprint. The waste is recycled and colored to give birth to wearable materials. The biomass is blended with stabilizers like organic cotton, recycled plastic or bio-PU depending on the plant.

Biomaterials are an innovative alternative to leather. They are made from a technological process that transforms plant waste into a wearable material with leather-like properties. This is a real breakthrough because biomaterials have a much lower environmental impact than leather and are of course cruelty-free.

No, on average MoEa sneakers bio-based materials are composed of 49% of fruit and plants. We expect this percentage to grow quickly over the next few years simultaneously with the increasing knowledge on these new methods of production. 

In the end, a biomaterial = Waste fruit or plants + stabilizer (cotton, recycled PU, bio PU)

Here is the composition of our sneakers:

• 1. Apple: 26% apple, 38% polyurethane, 20% polyester, 16% coton
• 2. Pineapple: 72% pineapple leaves, 18% polylactic acid, 5% bio-PU, 5% PU
• 3. Grape: 55% grape leftovers, 45% water-based PU
• 4. Cactus: 35% cactus skin and oil, 65% bio-PU
• 5. Corn: 43% corn skin and oil, 31% polyurethane, 26% viscose
• 6. Orange: 32% orange and cactus, 68% recycled PVC

Our lining, made in Spain, is the result of long research to combine comfort and breathability. The soft, anti-bacterial terry back is made from 75% bamboo and 25% polyester.

The front part is highly aerated thanks to a 70% recycled polyester mesh. Its honeycomb structure facilitates the passage of air, necessary for optimal comfort in everyday life.

Our glue is vegan, made in Portugal and water-based for a clean and solid finish.

Unsere veganen Materialien werden in Europa hergestellt:

• Apfel: Abfälle aus der italienischen Apfelsaftindustrie, hergestellt in Italien
• Ananas: Ananasblätter von den Philippinen, verarbeitet in Spanien
• Traube: Trauben aus italienischen Weinbergen, verarbeitet in Italien
• Kaktus: Kaktus aus der mexikanischen Wüste, verarbeitet in Italien
• Mais: Europäischer, nicht essbarer Mais, verarbeitet in Italien
• Orange: Abfälle aus der italienischen Lebensmittelindustrie, verarbeitet in Italien

MoEa-Sneaker werden vollständig von Hand in Guimarães, im Norden Portugals, gefertigt.

Die meisten unserer Materialien (Biomaterialien, Sohlen, Schnürsenkel, Einlegesohlen, Futter, Verpackung usw.) stammen aus Italien, Portugal oder Spanien.

Wir setzen uns dafür ein, die Produktion in der Europäischen Union lokal zu halten.

Ja, alle Arbeiter in unserer Fabrik werden fair bezahlt, über dem Existenzminimum, und arbeiten unter respektvollen Bedingungen. Alle unsere Partner halten sich an das europäische Gesetz und ihre Zulieferer an die lokalen Vorschriften.

64% of the workers are women.

Yes, we only work with suppliers whose production sites we can visit because we believe that "we only believe what we see".

According to the World Footwear Yearbook, over 24 billion pairs of shoes are produced annually (primarily under exploitative conditions) with sneakers accounting for the largest share and causing 1.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Bio-based materials are on average 95%* less carbon emissive than leather. 

(*according to a study conducted by FAIRLY MADE®)

Using bio-materials and producing locally are the two main reasons why a pair of MoEa sneakers emit less carbon than an average pair of shoes.

At MoEa we are assisted by FAIRLY MADE®, the leading platform in France for traceability and impact measurement for fashion brands.

They apply an accredited calculation method, a life cycle analysis to calculate the impact of our products and sneakers. To provide this analysis, different scopes in the life cycle are taken into account: 

• the raw materials (production and shaping), 
• upstream freight (transports during production), 
• assembly, 
• packaging, 
• end-of-life, 

but excludes downstream freight or more commonly called, distribution.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a standardized evaluation method (ISO 14040 and 14044) that allows a multi-criteria and multi-stage environmental assessment of a company over its entire life cycle.

FAIRLY MADE® hat die Produkte von MoEa analysiert und einen durchschnittlichen CO₂-Ausstoß von 6,4 kg pro GEN1-Paar ermittelt – im Vergleich zu einem Ledersneaker mit 30,1 kg CO₂. Somit verursacht ein Paar MoEa-Sneaker 79 % weniger CO₂ als ein herkömmlicher Lederschuh.
