Product description
Comfort that feels great all day long
If you are looking for sneakers with a fine appearance and also a great feel on long days, the Wairoa from Flamingos’Life are an appealing option.
Designed for breathability, these sneakers combine plant-based materials with recycled mesh to allow air to circulate. The bamboo and cotton lining usually feels more comfortable in everyday life than purely synthetic materials, especially if you wear the sneakers for longer periods of time. There is also a removable, padded insole for additional comfort, and it can be taken out easily for airing or replacement.
Materials with character and a clear retro runner look
Visually, the Wairoa picks up on the retro running silhouettes of the 2000s. The upper material made from corn waste and apple peel remnants alongside details made from recycled polyester are particularly interesting if you like materials other than classic leather. The embossed logo keeps the branding pleasantly understated.
All advantages at a glance:
- Noticeable everyday comfort thanks to padded, removable insole
- Great ventilation thanks to material mix of plant-based components and recycled mesh
- Retro runner design for many occasions
- Practical lacing
