OUR
PROCESS

We have taken a bottom-up approach to ensure we are thinking sustainably at every touchpoint.

1Materials

Nature's
Finest

Before any material makes it into our shoes, we question where it came from and where it will end up. With every pair of shoes we make, we prevent around 400g* of plastic entering the global supply chain.

*based on the material composition of an average non-Hylo runner.

2Design

Simplicity

Our shoes are designed to be timeless classics that last through the seasons. Our less is more approach to design allows us to make products that can be used and reused again

3Manufacturing

Manufacturing,
remade

We selected our manufacturing partner based on accredited levels of labour conditions as well as geographical location. We consolidated our supply chain around forward thinking sustainable suppliers to keep our emissions as low as possible. The result of which is that all but 2 materials come from a 100km radius of the factory and best of all, they all come by road with nothing coming by air.

4Packaging

Sustainable
Packaging

We make our boxes with FSC-recycled cardboard and plant-based ink. They were designed to use 40% fewer materials than other shoe boxes and don’t require any extra packaging to get from our factory to your door.

5Performance

Performance
meets
sustainability

We knew Hylo had to perform as well – if not better – than the alternatives. By using fewer materials and components, we were able to create a super lightweight and comfortable running shoe that at just 215g, will have you running your 5k PB.

6Sustainability

The journey

As a business, we are constantly looking to improve our understanding and application of sustainability. Every product has an environmental impact but we believe in quantifying and reducing that impact whilst constantly looking for better sustainable innovations.
