Reducing Landfill Waste

Every year, more than 24 billion pairs of shoes are produced – almost all of them end up in landfills. Modern footwear is made from unsustainable materials that not only ruin our bodies, but also our planet.

Fulton is changing footwear from the inside out. Through better materials and modern manufacturing techniques, we are actively reversing the damage that Big Footwear has caused one step at a time.

Fair labor practices.

Regenerative, plant-based materials.

Electricity-powered factories.

We’re Carbon Negative

That means everything from creating our insoles to getting them in your shoes actively removes carbon emissions from the atmosphere.

Harvested cork bark in forrest

Why We Love Cork

Cork bark is harvested in a way that allows the tree it came from to live for centuries. During the process of stripping the bark, the tree remains unharmed, allowing it to regrow its bark and absorb more greenhouse gas from our atmosphere in the process.
