FAQ
Are MOEA sneakers as resistant as leather sneakers?
CTC agency’s resistance tests results for GrapesSkin™ are without appeal. With a Tensile Strength of over 35 N/5cm, it ensure it can handle pulling forces effortlessly and with a Tear Strength exceeding 125 N/5cm, these sneakers resist tearing, promising longevity. The Flexometries test showcases their ability to endure over 100,000 cycles of bending, ensuring flexibility in every step.
Will I be paying import taxes / duties?
No additional tax is payable for orders placed within the European Union. For the rest of the world and overseas, taxes may apply depending on customs policies. Shipments to countries outside the European Union may incur additional import, customs or customs duties that are beyond our control.
What are biomaterials?
Biomaterials are an innovative alternative to leather. They are made from a technological process that transforms plant waste into a wearable material with leather-like properties. This is a real breakthrough because biomaterials have a much lower environmental impact than leather and are of course cruelty-free.
Why are biomaterials better for the planet?
According to Sami agency, our bio-based materials are on average 89% less polluting (89% less carbon) than leather. Furthermore, we only use materials that are PETA vegan approved, which means no animals were armed in the development and production process.
VEGAN AND LOW-CARBON, what else?
BananaYarn is an animal-free material and is PETA-Approved Vegan.
Our LCA made by the certified solution FAIRLY MADE® indicates our GEN4 emits 9.13kg of C02, which is on average -71% less compared to an equivalent animal leather sneaker.
MOEA'S VISION
Create sneakers that offer the same level of style and comfort you’d expect to see in your favourite leather pair, whilst ensuring that the planet isn’t some sort of a meaningless afterthought and that animals aren’t treated with cruelty.
