Awel Tennis Shoes

These eco-friendly shoes are stylish and washable, made from recycled water bottles and merino wool.

The innovative construction means the shoes are soft and lightweight, while the merino wool adds anti-odor properties great for longer trips. If they do get dirty, chuck them in the washing machine and they’ll come out as good as new.

Breathable materials make for great temperature regulation, and you can wear them without socks as well. There are four colors available: black, red, blue and sand. Each one is a tasteful hue you’ll be able to wear casually and in more formal settings, too.

If you are looking for a multipurpose travel shoe that will perform well in hot weather, the Awel is a good choice. Similar in style to the Adidas Gazelle or the Puma Suede, it’s got a timeless silhouette that never goes out of fashion. Pack them in your suitcase and you’ll barely notice they’re there thanks to the shoe’s lightweight construction.

There is free worldwide delivery and the shoes will ship by November 2019, just in time for Christmas gifting season. Get your hands on a pair for €130 euros from the Kickstarter page.
