Hunter's comment

VIA shoes are made from recycled ocean plastic and 100 percent waterproof. This means they are suitable for all sorts of outdoor activities and you won't have to worry about getting wet socks!

The fact that they are using recycled plastics also means we are doing our part to clean up the environment.

Humans use too much plastic for convenience, and much of it is being thrown away without recycling. Plastic is the main culprit of the destruction of the earth's environment, so we need to collect and recycle discarded plastic. This product is valuable because it is recycled shoes using plastic. We should wear these shoes well and care to be recycled later.

Yep and by recycling we are helping the environment and making better living conditions for sea animals.

It is quite the unique product is it not.....imagine no wet socks.....

Thank you for the introduction.

Cool hunt!!

Agreed! Nothing worse than wet socks!

I like the concept as plastic has become danger number one for nature and I think it's safe to say for humanity as well.
These shoes look great, are practical to use, I'd love one for nature walking or even gardening. The only impediment is the price. They are a bit expensive I guess but that doesn't mean won't be cheaper in the future, so fingers crossed.
Nice hunt!

Yeah new tech and products are often a bit pricey. I imagine that they are made well and durable though and would be worth every cent

Let's hope so, it's a very useful and nice product.

I really appreciate the effort to clean the polluted ocean and make something useful out of it. And yes the have amazing feature of being water proof which makes it more impressive. Its design is also eye catching. Amazing!

@conradt how about the product price?
Anyways I like this hunt and boosted it. Keep up your good job.

i can't see your boost. i am glad, if you did not. there are 7 influencers commenting on the same hunt.

I wondered the same thing @karamyog 😂😂

Indeed cool and innovative idea behind this. Waterproof and easy to clean you can use them anywhere and at any place. Re-usage of plastic in this form is quite appreciable.

Well said.

Cool Hunt !


Hello, I really appreciate your effort & Here is my opinion-

It is truly good and I loved it but sadly it is not affordable for a Common man. The concept is really good and it will helps to reduce plastic waste and it looks awesome and Durable too. I am happy for you Dude your hunt got good attention.... :grinning:

Thank You & Happy Hunting :-)

Thanks! Yea a few people have commented about the price.... I dont think it is too much and I have paid this much for shoes before.

Glad to know about these environment friendly stuff, during raining most effected thing is your shoes even you have umbrella but you could not save your shoes from wetting. I need one pair of such shoes use during outdoor activities and also in boating. looks great waterproof shoes.

Where we live it rains alot and I often get wet socks so would love a pair of these!!

Lol

UNBELIEVABLE! I am shocked to see that such shoes are existing now. I would love to buy one pair of shoe for myself because here is winter so wet and we need such shoes where socks don't get wet in the rainy season.

I am glad that someone has achieved this success by making such amazing envirom=nment friendly shoes from recycled ocean plastics. Nice Hunting!

Yeah they are pretty Good! Same here it has been a wet winter and I would love these for next winter!!!

Eco-friendly products have always been engaging and useful. I have also introduced a recyclable shoe recently and I have seen how useful it is for nature. The fact that the product is water-resistant also indicates that there is no problem of the shoes made of different materials.

Yep. I find people on here are usually interested in products that are eco friendly

Great hunt! Plastic is menace to the world. This is an efficient way recycling some this non biodegradable virus. I just wonder whether these shows are comfortable, as in is wrapping plastic around me going to lead to foot odour or worse? Because if water doesn't penetrate then may be they dont have a mess as shown in pics.

Yeah the amount of plastic in our oceans is very sad! Yeah I wonder to i would hope they have some type of odour control...

One of the best way of utilizing plastic qhich will not only reduce environmental issues but it will also benefit you while walking in the water.

These shoes mean less plastic in ocean...So that's a thumbs up from me always.
great hunt

Plastic that we Throw in the ocean is one of the main cause of killing sea animals. happy to see these waterproof shoes which are made of recycled ocean plastic. It will clear the ocean and living in the ocean will be less dangerous for sea animals.

This is something which is indeed amazing and come to think of it the way we are polluting our ocean this could at least give some solution to that matter (even a tiny recycling or using of those plastics helps for our nature). Besides liked the pairs if it was possible I would have got one lol ;) Keep it going hunter !!

Thanks! I always share things that help the environment. I feel like I am doing my part 😁😁

WoW cool environment friendly shoes and it surely help to save the environment by buying a shoe that is made up of plastic litter from ocean. The design of the shoes also looks trendy and i hope it'll win the wallets of both environmentally-conscious and fashionista consumers. Awesome Search

I hope so too 🤞🤞

waterproof shoes wow it looks stunning with fabulous design. It recycled are a great option to utilize for this purpose. It's nice to wear in every weather like on the rainy days.

Yeah a good way to keep our feet dry.

Good solution to get rid of Ocean plastic waste in a productive way.
The best thing is that they are knitted that means air can freely pass through them to get comfort for your feet.
It already have a hit on kickstarter as it is funded for more than 5 times of its target with 39 more days in hand this campaign will be rocking. Good find @conradt!

Thanks! Yeah it seems that they are comfortable and good for the environment 😆

Pros.

  • Waterproof.
  • can save sea animals.
  • decrease plastic waste.
  • Stylish in look.

Cons.

  • non.

I think this is the most creative hunt of the day. More and more plastic material are being produced and used by us. Plastic material thrown into the ocean could harm the environment and ocean lifes. Recyling is the answer. This shoes is one of the solution to this problem. Its stylish, waterproof and suitable to all outdoors activities. Good hunt!

Yeah it is great to see companies like this taking a proactive approach for change.

This is sooooo great. As a kid I hated going out on shoes during the rainy season because the rain ruins the shoes. Wearing sandals has its own drawbacks and let's not forget how shoes stink after it as been in muddy water for some time. I'm impressed by what these shoes can do and I'm even more impressed that making these shoes actually help to keep the environment clean.

Ocean plastic can actually be quite harmful for aquatic species and may even risk extinction. You could actually get 2 pairs for $169 if you are fast enough before the stock end. I think it's a great price. But the retail version is a $129 which is bit high if you don'earn much.

They are a bit pricey but considering the impact they have on the environment I think its worth it.

Well it's a wonderful idea clean environment.it will be usefu if the production of shoes is arranged on high scale.a lot things like this shuld be prepred to have clean environment.

Yeah its sad how much plastic is in the ocean polluting the world and killing sea life. Glad to see companies like this making a difference!

Recycling of plastic specially from oceans is a new trend and this is spreading speedily. I think if people from all over the world start doing this then very soon we will be plastic free world out side in the water and in the water as well. Various projects are being started from this plastic and this one is indeed a unique one : Waterproof shoes from recycled plastic. Great search.

Yep many companies are now including the environment as part of there overall strategy which is brilliant. Some companies give back to certain charities and some like this recycled and re use.

Environment-friendly, cost-effective and effortless are some other advantages of these waterproof shoes. Also, I want to appreciate the design sense of the team behind it.

Yeah they look very trendy!

I saw the other shoes also made from recycled ocean plastics and have to say I like the design of these ones better even if the other pair had more custom options, regardless it was not water proof so these are awesome and I can see them being easy to clean if you do step on any muddy puddles. I like what it's doing for the environment but the price continues to be steep.

I havent seen others but I love the design of these. I dont think the price is too crazy. I have paid this much for shoes in the past

@conradt this is such a cool hunt. Not only is it great that recycled plastices is used but the entire idea of shoes being waterproof is exactly what I need. During this weekend, I went camping and got my runners all soaked in the rain for 3 days. Didn't like that. This is what I need to get. Thanks for the great hunt. I am sure many hikers would appreciate this hunt.

We are going to be doing some hikes soon so these would be great!

Recycling is important in ensuring that normal natural ecosystem is maintained at all point in time. Thanks for this

👍👍

This is a really neat product. I like how these shoes are waterproof and made from recycled plastic. Good for the environment and keeping your feet dry. I actually got a soaker yesterday, I could have used waterproof shoes!!

I am really impressed with the advantages of this technology and it can definitely be said that this is the best hunt today. It is easy to say that this technology will play an important role in protecting the environment. We know that the environment is very important for a country and not just the country, the environment plays an important role for the whole world. I love this design and it will help me in the morning walk. It protects the environment on one side and on the other hand it is very comfortable. Finally, it can be said that we saw the use of a great technology. Anyway thank you so much for sharing it among us and waiting for more technology like this.

Thank you. Yes I think products like this are leading the way for change. More companies need to follow so we can reverse the damage done to the environment.

Sweet shoes :)

👌👌👌

Nice hunt! Having this type of shoes that has two advantages the one it is waterproof and best for outdoor adventures to enjoy the moment either in the rain or any other you will not worry about your shoes wet. The second one is that it is made from recycled plastic that saves our environment from being polluted

Just want one pair for me, because I love the technology and I love also the environment. If we show our interest for inspire the innovation then it will more encourage to do something more for our beautiful planet. Great Hunt brother.

I want a pair too!

This is awesome, it can also be put on during rainy season, no need to worry about wet shoes or your shoes getting spoiled by rain... We need more of this, nice hunt man

Yep nobody wants wet feet 🤣

would be the best shoes when going over beach picnic . i have heared that wet socks can get you sick ? so this will help to secure the socks from getting wet . we can also use it in rain .

i have a question wouldn't there be smell in the shoes ? as it would also be airlock ? right

I think by the sound of it they are more water resistant than water proof. Maybe not the best for long periods in the water?? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Great hunt @conradt!

I am sincerely excited to try this Via product. I liked your presentation around this new production technology, combined with a cool design and its fair price, makes it a very good one.

Thanks for your feedback 😁😁

Really awesome discover of waterproof shoes. It's next generation and new fashionable. This is truly amazing. Thanks for share hunt.

😃

Ocean pollution is increasing day by day and its due to increase in the use of plastic made things. It is also true that we are doing our part to clean it. There are some companies that are recycling ocean plastic but as an individual its our responsibility to reduce the use of plastic in our daily life.
We togather can make this place better for our better future.

Agreed. I always try and recycle as much as possible and wish others would do the same!!

My first impression on looking its desing was WOW. even thought it was made from recycled materials, the design was so sick and one good thing about this one, it is waterproof. Cool one!

All the best VIA shoes, Very nice technology, i know. I like it VIA shoes.
