For 60 years, Dr. Scholl’s Shoes has been committed to designing
shoes with standout comfort and authentic American design.
Recently, the brand made a choice to take its mission one step
further – setting out on a journey to make shoes in a whole new
way, using eco-conscious materials, finding ways to reduce
packaging, and choosing sustainable processes when possible.
The Sweet Life Sneaker holds true to the brand’s signature blend
of comfort and sustainable elements, featuring a neoprene heel
counter for a comfy, sock-like fit, plant-based foam midsole that
reduces plastic and manufacturing waste and microsuede made from
recycled plastic bottles.
“As our lives become busier than ever, our team wanted to design
a sneaker that is not only easy to wear, but easy to slip-on and
go," said Katie Moore, Senior Design Director, Dr. Scholl’s Shoes.
“From stretch laces, to the to the comfy sock-like fit and sleek
silhouette. It’s truly the wear-with-everything sneaker that we all
need in our closets, especially these days when comfort has taken
on a new level of importance to our consumer. The fact that we are
now able to also infuse sustainable elements at such an accessible
point is such a win for us in our journey to reduce our impact on
the environment.”
Accessories Council President, Karen Giberson echoed Moore’s
sentiment, saying “We congratulate Dr. Scholl's on their second
Design Excellence Awards win! We commend the mix of sustainability,
comfort and exceptional design. This shoe is a wonderful example of
what today’s shoppers are looking for!”
The Sweet Life Sneaker, along with many other sustainable styles
for both men and women, is available at drschollsshoes.com
About Dr. Scholl’s Shoes
William Scholl was an inventor and entrepreneur who created
products to comfort feet. In the 60's, he designed a simple wood
sandal with a brightly colored strap inspired by a vintage clog he
found on his travels. He set out to make a shoe that was good for
one's health and ended up creating an enduring fashion icon.
Today, we share his same passion and approach. Our vision is to
create innovative footwear with uncomplicated, playful style for a
healthier life. We obsess as much about how shoes feel when you
slip them on, as how your feet feel at the end of the day. We
strive to make active feel at ease. With the belief that function
and fashion should always be in perfect harmony, we design for your
everyday life in the real world.
