Drawing on our heritage of innovation and
devotion to the sea to sustain the waters that
stretch the globe and connect us all.
Create a more sustainable future by building
products, programs and partnerships that
are designed to protect our water.
Sperry was born on the water in 1935 with cutting-edge materials and
manufacturing. Today, we're exploring new ways to make our products
better
than ever (and better on the environment) in three ways:
Includes footwear where the
majority of the upper is made with
recycled material.
Footwear in the SeaCycled™ Collection prioritizes recycled materials including cotton, polyester, and nylon. See specific product details for exact percentage of recycled materials used.
By 2027, our goal is for 100% of our new products to be from our SeaCycled™, Biovative or Lifestream Leather collections.
*All styles contain at least 50% recycled material in the upper except where noted.
Sourced from Gold and Silver rated tanneries
as evaluated by the Leather Working
Group based on water savings.
Manufacturing with leather has an impact on the environment, and that's why we've been working for years to do it better. Suppliers with Gold and Silver ratings (as rated by the Leather Working Group) use less water than traditional leather tanning, yet maintain the highest quality. By sourcing leathers from these tanneries, we've saved over 98 million gallons (371 million liters) of water since 2018.
This includes LITE™ Leather. LITE™ Leather is produced in facilities deemed Low Impact To the Environment, meaning that they use less water and energy as compared to the Leather Working Group (LWG) environmental certification benchmarks, as well as limit chemical usage throughout their processes.
Bio- and plant-based alternatives
to fossil fuel-based substances
and materials.
The future of footwear will come from the elegant simplicity of the past combined with the innovation of tomorrow. As we strive to take better care of the earth, we can look to her for inspiration. These materials and processes are derived from living matter, and may offer benefits like a reduced carbon footprint or lower toxicity.
Our goal is that 100% of new textile models we produce by 2025 will be part of the SeaCycled™ Collection or made with Biovative materials.
By 2027, our goal is for 100% of all new products to be made more sustainably.
We strive to continue to reduce Sperry's water usage in leather manufacturing.
