Eco-Friendly Football Boots Released - Kangaroo Leather & Vegan Versions Available

Have you thought about the environmental impact of your football boots that are eco-friendly? British start-up manufacturer Sokito bring you the so-called Devista shoes - a line of eco-friendly football boots.

Sokito Devista

Here are the new Sokito Devista football shoes.

The Devista football boot is "made of sustainable, high-performance materials to enhance your game on the pitch".

Sokito bring us two versions: Devista and Devista Vegan. Both are eco-friendly alternatives to high-end football boots from the big brands without compromising performance.

Sokito Devista Regular vs Vegan

The regular Devista Sokito football boots are made from soft kangaroo leather. In case you wondered why they use Kangaroo leather for an eco-friendly football boot - The brand's kangaroo leather "comes only from wild kangaroos Down Under and is a byproduct of government population control enforced to protect local agriculture".

Meanwhile, the Devista Vegan boots have the same structure as regular Devista boots but have been made without animal products - no kangaroo leather here, of course.

The Devista Vegan features a 100% vegan leather upper that is 45% recycled nylon, sourced primarily from recycled carpet, and 55% polyurethane (PU).

The Devista Vegan is the second in the world to be certified vegan by an organization.

Unlike most other boots, the Devista soccer shoe has been handcrafted in Europe.

The soleplate of the Devista boot has a structure quite similar to the soleplate of the Puma Ultra Ultimate boot.
