Are MOEA sneakers as resistant as leather sneakers?
CTC agency’s resistance tests results for GrapesSkin™ are without appeal. With a Tensile Strength of over 35 N/5cm, it ensure it can handle pulling forces effortlessly and with a Tear Strength exceeding 125 N/5cm, these sneakers resist tearing, promising longevity. The Flexometries test showcases their ability to endure over 100,000 cycles of bending, ensuring flexibility in every step.

Will I be paying import taxes / duties?
No additional tax is payable for orders placed within the European Union. For the rest of the world and overseas, taxes may apply depending on customs policies. Shipments to countries outside the European Union may incur additional import, customs or customs duties that are beyond our control.

What are biomaterials?
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.

Why are biomaterials better for the planet?
According to Sami agency, our bio-based materials are on average 89% less polluting (89% less carbon) than leather. Furthermore, we only use materials that are PETA vegan approved, which means no animals were armed in the development and production process.

Which size should I choose ?
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 !
