Thousand Fell sells recyclable sneakers that are manufactured with zero waste in a closed loop system.

We're on a mission to end textile waste by completely rethinking the way you interact with your wardrobe starting with the first recyclable sneaker. No compromises -- for you or the planet.

Thousand Fell shoes are commended for their stylish, comfortable, and easy-to-clean design. The recyclable nature of the shoes is also appreciated. However, some users have found them to be on the narrow side, with shorter laces than ideal. The durability of the shoes has also been questioned, as some users reported seams coming apart or soles wearing out quicker than other brands.

I love these! They’re really cute and comfy! I took off a star because the laces are a bit short to tie, and I’ll have to be stand alone laces. Otherwise they’re great! 

Bought a pair for my boyfriend and he really likes them - they’re high quality and very stylish. He mentioned the padding  makes them really comfortable. 

They do seem to run a tiny bit big - not enough to make them uncomfortable, but if you’re in between sizes, consider sizing down. They also seem to require a little bit of breaking in and rubbed a bit straight out of the box. 

These are a solid, basic white sneaker. They remind me a lot of Keds, which my grandma used to wear religiously. I love that they're recyclable and made with intention and thoughtfulness. They're comfortable and good enough for me to run around NYC in. That said, they're not the sturdiest sneaker one can find at this price point, but they are functional and classic. I appreciate that they offered them at a nice discount, otherwise I wouldn't purchase at full price. I can't wait to wear mine out and recycle these.

The shipping for these was lightning fast (I think I got them the next day???) and the packaging was so smart - I loved the unboxing experience. At the end of the day, however, the shoes themselves are super narrow in the toe box - and I don't want to spend $100+ on shoes that don't fit perfectly. The return process was via Happy Returns - so simple-ish - but required a printer for the return. I also had to prompt them to actually issue my refund a few weeks later!

Got them for my mom and she loves them. Apparently they are super comfortable and super easy to clean. They are also really cute and similar look to the Stan smiths. I think I am going to buy myself a pair too. Plus the box it came in was super cute.

Nice clean look with a pop of color. Easy to clean and pretty comfortable. They survived my trip to PR. I mostly wore them when we were doing light walking. 

Update (April 2024): After some wear they have become squeaky when walking.

I'm on my second pair of white sneakers from Thousand Fell. These are a great find if you want a simple, logo-free sneaker. The biggest downside is that I found the soles to wear out much quicker than other shoes

What I love
-Simple, sleek, logo-less design. Great work sneaker. 
-Super comfortable fit
-Fairly easly to clean as a white sneaker; magic eraser worked to remove scuffs, etc. 
-Appreciate the opportunity to recycle

What I didn't love
-The soles aren't as durable as many other sneakers. I live in NYC and walk a lot, and found that the soles wore through after a year of regular wear. I haven't had that issue with Vejas, Tretorn, or Gola. 
-I opted to recycle my 1st pair, and I had to email SuperCircle in order to actually get the credits as the tracking info never updated on their end 

I love that these sneakers are recyclable. That was the primary selling point for me. But they are also super cute and comfortable. No break in period required.

Super comfortable, easy to clean, and RECYCLABLE! The zero waste/closed loop system was a big selling point for me. 10/10 on the packaging, as well.

Love love love these shoes! They are sleek, comfortable and have been holding up well around the city. Love the neon accents on the shoes and have been getting lots of compliments.
