The bottom of these shoes used to be tires that rolled around on an axle that was connected to a car. Given the inherent nature of use like this, some of the shoe bottoms (i.e. tires) are marked up a little. Sure, we buff them out and put them on the bottom of the shoes, but they still show wear. If you get them and you decide you can't deal with the past life of that particular car tire, we'll take them back, as long as they are in new and unworn condition.

These shoes contain:
Recycled Car Tires - Have you ever thought about what happens to car tires once they've completed their useful life on the wheels of your car? Best case scenario is that the tires get recycled... worse case scenario is they wind up in a landfill or worse, incinerated. We've figured out a way to take used car tires and turn them into the outsoles of our shoes. Besides being super durable and grippy, we're extending the life of a material that is otherwise considered trash. And did we mention we can make 6 pairs of men's size 9 shoes from a single car tire? Pretty nifty, right?
