Our LDN Sneakers have been over a year in the making, working with leading shoe component manufacturers across Europe to create one of the most sustainable shoes on the planet.
It’s not been an easy journey. Many of the solutions we’ve developed to create a pair of fully biodegradable sneakers have not been seen before. These sneakers are literally at the cutting edge of sustainable footwear.
They’re not only super sustainable but super cool to look at and super comfy to wear.
The LDN is based on a new WVS sneaker silhouette with a low-cut ankle shape and laces that run low down the vamp. We’ve had many requests to do something like this, and are pleased to announce its arrival.
The Tencel uppers mold around your feet. LDN are breathable and lightweight to wear. They’re fully washable by hand or put in a short cool wash with a towel (to protect from the wash drum).
The Tencel and organic cotton mix linings are really soft, you can wear your LDN Sneakers with or without socks. The linings allow air to circulate around your feet, helping them stay cool. They are also great at wicking moisture away, keeping them dry and hygenic.
The wood fibre and natural latex insoles laid on the Apinat Bio sneaker outsoles provide cushioning, shock absorption and traction as you walk.

Love them. They are so comfortable.
Very happy with my shoes. After some weeks of using my shoes, I felt like they were falling apart a bit too fast.
They're stylish and comfy, but after even just a few wears, a hole appeared where the seams had come apart and now a couple of weeks later I've seen the sole is starting to break down. They shouldn't biodegrade mid-wear! Wills have been understanding, but I think it is important to consider how long the shoes may or may not last if you want to purchase them.
Hi Francesca,
I am really sorry to read this happened, you should not expect this, the shoes should last you a few years without biodegrading. They will only biodegrade in the correct conditions, and not during normal wear. Saying this because of the use of natural materials you will see more wear earlier vs synthetic materials, but not to this degree.
For your peace of mind, we will always replace, refund or try to repair your purchases at any point if you are not happy - just let us know and we will take care of everything.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. I am here to help, if you need any assistance you can email directly on will.green@wills-vegan-shoes.com

Really pleased with these, once I got the right size. Exchange for different size was really easy to do.
Very comfortable and practical while looking good. Can’t fault them!
