It looks like leather, it acts like leather, but it's not leather. What is it? ... If you're saying: "It's C.W.L., which is what Veja Urca sneakers are made out of," you get a big thumbs up from us and bonus points for that. Cotton Worked as Leather is a vegan alternative to leather - organic cotton coated with corn and castor oil. The sole is made of 24% of the Fair Trade certified Amazon rubber, 23% of rice waste, and 12% of recycled rubber. The insole is made by certified workers in Brazilian factories from sugarcane, Amazon rubber, recycled EVA material, and organic cotton. The lining is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles (as a bonus, it will resist friction and give your foot maximum comfort and flexibility), and the laces weren't left behind either. Their 100% organic cotton boasts the USDA organic, EU organic, GOTS, and Brazilian Participatory Guarantee System certifications.
