Little Green Radicals makes comfortable, colourful clothes for children and has been a pioneer of ethical fashion for almost 20 years. Now the London-based company is introducing boots made from a renewable, plant-based foam. This is produced by Yulex® from deforestation-free natural rubber. Its production reduces carbon emissions by over 80% compared to synthetic rubbers such as neoprene. The boots are certified by the Fair Rubber Association, which guarantees fair working and living conditions for natural latex producers. There is a choice of two different heights of boots in sizes UK 3-13: up to the ankle in the colours gold and green, classic with red apples or blue clouds.
