Tropicfeel launches eco-friendly footwear using recycled materials

Tropicfeel, a maker of environmentally friendly travel goods that brings the thrill of adventure to everyday life, has released its first eco-friendly weatherproof Geyser shoe manufactured with Hyosung‘s 100% recycled fibers.

The Geyser All Terrain shoe delivers the weatherproof protection of rain boots, the lightweight comfort of sports shoes, the technical outsole material of hiking shoes, and the styling of your favorite everyday footwear, providing the perfect mix between a traditional urban vibe and performance.

Geyser is made with Hdry technology (feel dry) stretchy recycled waterproof membrane; a low impact 20% Merino wool lining; a hybrid of Hyosung’s Mipan regen recycled nylon and creora regen recycled elastane upper protected with a water-resistant finish; and an anti-fatigue, anti-slip rubber outsole.

Alberto Espinós, Tropicfeel CEO & Founder, said that they wanted to relate their first weatherproof footwear to two concepts: to maintain the history of water-friendly shoes and to connect more with nature by erasing our imprint and emphasizing the importance of the environment. With its sustainable textile solutions, Hyosung has assisted them in achieving this.

Tropicfeel debuted Nest, an all-arounder backpack created to please the curious on their daily commutes, spectacular getaways, and every interest in between, earlier this fall. Nest is available in sizes ranging from 16 to 30 liters and provides excellent organizing for any excursion. It’s made with a mix of Hyosung’s Mipan regen nylon, Mipan regen robic high-tenacity nylon, and creora regen elastane made with GRS-certified 100% reclaimed waste, as well as regen polyester made from 100% post-consumer waste – all of which help prevent valuable resources from being depleted.

Mike Simko, Global Marketing Director, Hyosung Textiles, said that they’re happy to expand their cooperation with Tropicfeel and its innovative travel gear. They are excited to work with such a forward-thinking, young firm that has created an incredibly interactive and adventurous worldwide community.

Tropicfeel is based on an on-demand business strategy, and it has proven a great hit with environmentally conscious travelers who wish to simplify their lives.
