We say “sustainability” out loud and, almost immediately, recycling or caring for the environment comes to mind. However, sustainability <\/strong>has many faces and many paths and at FOOTDISTRICT <\/strong>we are going through all of them to improve day by day together with the brands present in our catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability x FOOTDISTRICT: our day-to-day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the paths to sustainability is durability.<\/strong> When we started, back in 2012, one of the ideas we were clear about was how to select the garments and footwear: we wanted them to fall in love with us for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A durable garment can maintain its shape, color and quality over time<\/strong>, so it will be more attractive and useful to you. Or isn’t it wonderful to be able to take the same sneakers out of their box over and over again and that they are impeccable?<\/p>\n\n\n

We keep feeling those butterflies… and that’s what we want you to feel. So, we have something to tell you: choosing garments and materials that last makes you more sustainable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability meets fashion: the ultimate collab<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Durability in clothing allows the garment to have a longer useful life.<\/strong> This has two main benefits for you and the environment. You can save money and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The environmental impact of a garment can be reduced in different ways, for example, when it is properly maintained and when it is given the necessary care. This is the sign you were waiting for to learn how to wash that sweatshirt or properly clean the suede of your sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, choosing durable clothing prevents frequent replacements. It is one thing to collect and another to have to get rid of that shoe you bought because it was what you had to wear, and you only wore it once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t want that.<\/p>\n\n\n

Repair, don’t spare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is thrown away: it is repaired.<\/strong> Careful and professional repair can even improve the quality and original appearance of the garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting a tear in a Gore-Tex jacket is not ideal, although it sometimes happens. You have to take care of it, but in good hands a repaired jacket will not lose its impermeability.<\/strong> What’s more, it can even increase the useful life of the clothing by strengthening weak parts (where the fabric tends to rub the most) and extending its useful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love what you purchased, you want it to be in perfect condition,<\/strong> and to enjoy it as long as possible, so if you find a defect, you may consider taking it to repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemble! Durability in materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you already knew: at FOOTDISTRICT we have a wide selection of products made of resistant materials<\/a>,<\/strong> because just as we believe in a lasting relationship with our community, we also believe in lasting relationships with everything in our wardrobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All tops, sneakers and jackets that you will see in our collection are selected for their quality materials and for betting on a specially designed manufacturing so that each piece is as durable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll see a Tough Material icon in the tooltip, and we’ll add more information about the materials to inform their characteristics. When the materials are durable, fewer resources are used for their manufacture: energy and water consumption is reduced, for example. In addition, less waste is generated, because the processes are highly designed to use the necessary materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we are not only talking about physical durability, economic and visual durability are also important<\/strong>. Come on, you can invest in higher quality garments that you will be able to enjoy for a longer time and that will be like the first day when they reach vintage age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
