ECO POLICY

The environment is back on the global agenda!

At Loints of Holland we have been making shoes which are durable with less environment damaging. The figured out models use less (lining-) leathers, glue and energy.

Contributing to a better environment can be done on different levels:

1. Every year hundreds of millions of shoes are being thrown away globally. Shoes of better quality and durability make these "wastemountains" smaller. One way in which Loints of Holland brand helps reduce this problem of global waste is to manufacture products that offer repairing and resoling. This feature allows your shoes to be worn even longer! Extra lifetime extending tip: Maintain your shoes properly and wear them every other day.

2. How environmentally friendly are various footwear manufactures? Are they taking steps to help reduce global pollution? At Loints of Holland, we can proudly say "yes", we do! The origin of the raw materials is a very important item: are these manufacturers working in a clean way? How do they treat their waste? Loints of Holland works with suppliers from Western-Europe who are guided by strict European Laws. Our tanneries do not use Benzedrine and pcp`s and have extensive water-clearing installations. For years now, the manufacturers of our PU-outsoles do not use freon.

3. Most Loint's designs are simple and unlined: this saves glues, lining leather and labor, thus energy. Unnecessary and artificial materials are left out.

And let`s not forget The Human Factor: Loints of Holland are comfortable and therefore you wear them longer and with joy!

Please join us, in our quest for better and wiser footwear manufacturing and branding.... we go the extra step to put healthy and cool shoes on your feet,
