Lightweight latex in outsole made from the milk of hevea trees.
As part of Patagonia’s environmentally approach to footwear, the latex they use in their outsoles comes from the milk of hevea trees.
The extracting process of the milk is beneficial to the tree because it allows space for the new milk production, maintaining the natural equilibrium of the environment.
The boiling and moulding process provides a natural cushion underfoot which provides a lighter tread and increased comfort underfoot.
