VIA Waterproof Knit Shoes
VIA Knit Shoes are treated with a Nano-Tech Membrane that repels both water and dirt for up to 2 hours of tromping around in mud puddles on a rainy spring day. They're also convertible sneaks, with fold-over flaps that can take them from hi- to low-tops based on your style mood, and whether or not you're trying to keep the elements from infiltrating your shoes. Rounding out VIA's footwear profile is their construction: a slip-resistant rubber outsole; anti-microbial, shock-absorbing insole; and eco-friendly uppers made from recycled ocean plastic.
Yep, in case you missed that last part, each pair of VIA shoes has about 30 grams of reclaimed ocean plastic in them.
If you're interested in learning more about VIA waterproof knit sneakers, or getting a pair of your own, check out the shoes' Kickstarter campaign through May 30, 2019.
