The Butterfly Slip-On VR3 SF blends sustainable design with our iconic surf-based slip-on to create an upgraded, comfortable collapsible heel style.
Featuring uppers made from 100% organic cotton canvas, enhanced comfort with our biobased foam VR3Cush™ footbed, and a new VR3Waffle™ outsole that uses regeneratively grown natural rubber, this deconstructed slip-on shoe fuses modern and vintage detailing.
Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals.
Big or small, all of our efforts add up to positive change.
To earn the VR3 Checkerboard globe logo, at least 30% of the product must be made up of one or a combination of recycled, renewable, and/or regenerative materials.
PRODUCT FEATURES • UPPER MATERIAL: Made with 100% Organic Cotton Canvas.
