What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
·Recycled — Modern recycled materials match virgin materials in performance. Recycled polyester and nylon are indistinguishable from new in most applications.
·Cork — Naturally water-resistant, lightweight, and flexible. Resists mold, mildew, and rot. Cork flooring can last 50+ years.
·Made by Patara LLC in United States.

·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.
·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.
·Recycled — Follow care label — varies by base material.

Sustainability

·Recycled — Diverts waste from landfills and oceans. Recycled polyester from plastic bottles reduces petroleum dependency by up to 75%.
·Cork — Harvested from bark without cutting the tree — the cork oak regenerates its bark every 9 years, making it endlessly renewable. A single tree can be harvested for 200+ years.

Cost Per Use

·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
·Recycled — Often priced comparably to virgin materials. You get the same performance while diverting waste.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Footwear). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 7 months — and falls to roughly 11¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
