The carbon footprint of the footwear industry is truly massive in size, it is estimated that 330 milion pairs of shoes and boots are sold each year within the UK alone. Sadly, most of these end up in landfills with conservative estimates suggesting that the average pair takes more than 50 years to fully decompose.

Everyone can double the life of their shoes and boots by carrying our one retread or sole and heel repair, this could potentially reduce the amount of footwear going into landfill by an incredible 50%.
