SNEAKERS 100% MADE IN FRANCE 🇫🇷 & ECO-DESIGNED

I'm very glad to have won the bet on offering you totally eco-conceived sneakers and 100% made in France.

All the confection steps are done in our partner workshop at Montjean-sur-Loire (49) with Sessile. From the assemblage to the sewing passing through the sanding and drying, there are more than 60 processes in order to confectionate our model. Our sneakers are made for last. They are also made from leather treated on vegetable tanning, with soles in recycled rubber, laces made in organic cotton, recycled foam for the inner sole. Totally Green.

98 % des sneakers vendues en France sont fabriquées à l’étranger avec un coût social et environnemental très élevé. Une fatalité ? Non.

THE PROBLEMS WITH SNEAKERS

I have been talking for several years now with people like you to get a sense of your expectations and your dislikes when it comes to sneakers.

HAND MANUFACTURED IN FRANCE

Our sneakers are manufactured in Montjean-sur-Loire, a small town in the northwestern quadrant of France. It is home to one of the last workshops still in operation in France. We have chosen to combine eco-responsibility with appreciation of our home soil. The soles for our sneakers are made from recycled rubber. The laces are in organic cotton, and the inner soles are in recycled foam. Our artisans are paid decent French salaries and receive full French social coverage.

ECO-DESIGN & TRACEABILITY

All the hides come from food industry waste.

All the tanned leather comes straight from Mastrotto, a leather supplier with a worldwide reputation for the superior quality of their leather.
Environmental label: ISO 14001
Social label: LWG GOLD, ISO 9001

Made in France
In our partner workshop located in Montjean-sur-Loire, France, founded in 1927.

COMFORT ABOVE ALL ELSE

Nothing is more important to us than comfort. We’ve added a removable inner sole made from recycled and recyclable foam. Talk about soft!

MEETING SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS AND CODES

We believe that creating an eco-responsible sneaker goes over and beyond using recycled soles and green main ingredients. It includes respecting social and local norms. For us, eco-responsibility is also connected to local traditions.

Our employees are respectfully paid salaries that meet French social standards and comply with French law.

We are contributing to revitalizing the region’s economy to prevent losing important local knowhow. A workshop that closes is a human tragedy, and the skills and talents are lost forever.

The carbon footprint of our sneakers is very local thanks to being “Made in France”. What could be better?

The carbon footprint for your average type of sneakers ranges from 15 to 21 kg CO2.

However, Zorzetto’s carbon footprint figures among the lowest. After adjustment, it stands at 2.2 kg CO2 eq (4.4 in manufacturing), using the ADEME system.

« Je voulais montrer qu’on pouvait encore produire ici en France une sneaker de qualité en l’associant à l’écologie. Utiliser des matières naturelles et recyclées c’est bien mais ce n’est pas suffisant, il faut aussi le lier à la production locale pour un impact social positif. »
