Edmonton, CA — On September 26 2017, Red Frog Boots launched a Kickstarter campaign for The Sno Boot, handmade boots that are not only warm and comfortable, but also help keep tires out of landfills.
“Three years ago, Red Frog Boots saw a need for winter boots that were both stylish and warm and so we set about developing a way to use the most sustainable materials we could find. In the process we created a material ideal for soles by grinding up tire rubber into tiny pieces, gluing it all back together and shaping it into unique and super comfortable styles,” the creator explained, “We combined these with the finest 100% natural, unbleached 1/2″ Merino wool uppers and now produce the warmest boots your feet will ever need.”
Gone are the days of people mocking your winter boots. No more doing the I-gotta-pee dance to keep your feet warm when it’s 30 below and you’re waiting for the bus or to get inside a club. These boots are warm, waterproof, comfy and they’re made of 100% sustainable materials.
Need more reasons to love The Sno Boot? They have the best grip on those shiny tile floors that seem to cover every mall, office and bank the world over. Can you think of anything that grips ice and snow better than tire rubber? We can’t. Even better, they’re non-scuffing and won’t mark floors.
The company uses only Merino long fiber wool from Australia and New Zealand, imported to Mexico City where it is processed in one of the few wool factories left in this hemisphere. Its long fibers ensure that warm air is trapped inside and cold air is kept out, ensuring your feet are toasty warm in the worst of conditions.
“Red Frog Boots is the first and only company in the world to develop a method for turning tire rubber crumb into products for your body,” the creator explained, “In the past 2 years we have created a full line of the warmest winter boots, the most rugged sandals and truly stunning bags. Custom made in the world’s smallest factory in central Mexico, each pair of footwear is created to fit our clients’ needs. Every pair means one less tire tossed into eternity on a landfill and that’s a good thing.”
In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including one pair of The Sno Boot starting at $165 CAD – that’s $94 off the retail price! Backers can also pledge $300 for two pairs or four pairs for $500. Don’t forget, every pair you buy saves one tire from taking up space in a landfill.
