Taking materials that would be otherwise destined for landfill, The Pacific is an eco-conscious footwear line made entirely from recycled materials including algae-based foam, chrome-free recycled leather trimmings and tree-based linings.

Substitutions favoring sustainability include water-based assembly cement, chromium-free recycled leather, GRS-certified 100% recycled polyester, and organic cotton shoelaces without wax. Beyond the shoe itself, all packaging for The Pacific is made from 100% recycled paper and soybean ink printing.

The team at New York City-based based Loafs designed a shoe in alignment with their passion for cleaning up the ocean and protecting the planet. For each pair of The Pacific purchased, Loafs will donate proceeds to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
