Spain’s Tropicfeel, developers of sustainably made travel gear made to bring the excitement of travel to everyday life, has launched its first eco-friendly weatherproof Geyser shoe made with Hyosung’s 100 per cent recycled fibres. Hyosung is a fibre manufacturer that produces world-class products, providing innovation and solutions to the textile industry.

Providing the perfect balance between a classic urban vibe and performance, the Geyser All Terrain shoe provides the weatherproof protection of rain boots, the lightweight comfort of sports shoes, the technical outsole material of hiking shoes, and the styling of your favourite everyday footwear. Geyser, which is available in low and high cut styles and features a sock construction with Sprint Laces, is made with Hdry technology (feel dry) stretchy recycled waterproof membrane; a low impact 20 per cent Merino wool lining, a blend of Hyosung’s Mipan regen recycled nylon and creora regen recycled elastane upper protected with a water-resistant finish; and an anti-fatigue, anti-slip rubber outsole, according to a press release by Hyosung.

Earlier this fall, Tropicfeel introduced Nest, an all-rounder backpack designed to satisfy the curious in their daily commutes, unforgettable getaways, and every hobby in between. Nest expands from 16L to 30L and offers great organization for every journey. It is made with a blend of Hyosung’s Mipan regen nylon, Mipan regen robic high-tenacity nylon, and creora regen elastane made with GRS-certified 100 per cent reclaimed waste, in addition to it regen polyester made from 100 per cent post-consumer waste – all of which help save valuable resources from being removed from the earth.

“We wanted to link our first weatherproof footwear to two concepts – to continue the legacy of water-friendly styles, and to connect more with nature by removing our footprint and placing more importance on the environment. Hyosung has helped us achieve this with its sustainable textile solutions,” Alberto Espinós, Tropicfeel CEO and founder said in a statement.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Tropicfeel and its innovative travel gear. We are proud to join forces with such an innovative, young company that has developed a tremendous interactive and adventurous global community,” Mike Simko, global marketing director at Hyosung Textiles said.
