Rackle Shoes
Alex Redwood Women's
Sustainable
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it’s time we rethink the materials, processes, and packaging used to create our beloved purchases. This is why we’ve done the upfront legwork and vetted our brands to ensure that our planet’s health is top of mind for them as well.
Woman-Owned
Women lift up half of the sky - by investing in women, you’re assisting in the process of creating more wealth for families and communities. The successes of women shape the way young girls see themselves as they develop into leaders, and it's essential for the world to provide leaders that mirror half of the population.
Toxic Free
The secret behind the beauty, personal-care, and fashion industry is that they’re virtually unregulated, and therefore, allowed to use untested chemicals in their products. Exposure to these ingredients can be harmful overtime, and that’s why we’ve vetted each and every single one of these brands to ensure that they’re up to standards for those looking for a cleaner beauty routine or may be more sensitive to harsh ingredients.
Ethical
Here at ourCommonplace, all brands have our ethical stamp of approval, which encompasses decent working conditions, treatment of workers, and fair-wages. Through providing a platform for purchasing ethical goods and ensuring all brands uphold ethical standards, we hope to take us towards a more equitable and just world.
BIPOC-Owned
We believe in uplifting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities by empowering their businesses. By choosing to allocate your purchasing power to BIPOC-owned businesses, you're not only strengthening local BIPOC communities — you're also contributing to shrinking the racial wealth gap, fostering job creation, and propelling diverse representation across consumer industries.
Cruelty Free
Animal tests are often painful and cause the suffering and deaths of millions of animals every year. Having this stamp of approval means that no animals were tested on, harmed or killed in the process of making the product. When you opt in for cruelty-free brands, you’re opting out of animal testing, and investing in clean products that are made for the benefit of your body, animals, and the environment.
Everything you need in a shoe, and nothing you don't.
Look good, feel good and do good in sustainable, eco-friendly footwear from Rackle. The ALEX is made with a 100% sustainable hemp upper and Eco-Pure®, a foam midsole/outsole unit that promotes bio-degradation. Designed for an everyday wear, with plush cushioning, they weigh in at a super lightweight 6 ounces. Featuring Rackle’s proprietary Plexus Arch™ technology, that stimulates the foot, providing recovery benefits and comfort as you move though the day. You’ll feel so good, you might forget you have them on.
The 100% sustainable hemp upper is made of high grade hemp and provides year-round comfort and support thanks to the plants natural benefits: cool in the summer and warm in the winter; anti-microbial; lightweight; water-resistant; UV-resistant; and extremely durable.
Our shoes soles are made of EcoPure® and incorporate Rackle’s proprietary PLEXUS ARCH™ design. EcoPure® foam promotes bio-degradation – it begins to break down after 1 year in active enclosed landfill conditions. The PLEXUS ARCH™ with its raised ribbed arch design stimulates the foot where veins in the arch area meet (plexus) during forward motion (e.g. walking, etc.). PLEXUS ARCH™ technology offers recovery and comfort for people on the go.
