Wow those shoes are so beautiful & classy! It's so cool that they are made from plastic bottles. I'll def need to buy some when I get a new job in an office! I even just want a pair just to have. Lovely!
My concern with these and Rothy’s are in regards to high levels of BPA. Studies have shown that BPA can be absorbed through skin and end up in the bloodstream. The Center for Environmental Health reported last October that its investigations have found BPA in polyester-based clothing with spandex, including socks made for infants. Through the past couple of years, the CEH added that it has pushed more than 90 companies to reformulate their products to remove all bisphenols, including BPA. As a Hormone-Sensitive Cancer survivor this is extremely concerning because, being that these are shoes, you are meant to sweat in them. BPA can mimic hormones like estrogen and block other hormone receptors, altering the concentration of hormones in our bodies, and resulting in negative health effects. Even low levels of exposure during pregnancy have been associated with a variety of health problems in offspring. Have they answered to what this means for their shoes? I can’t imagine that these aren’t riddled with BPA concerns.
Thanks Mio, I meant to say it that way but it may have not come across properly. The flats are machine washable, but the heels need to be washed by hand. 🥰

FYI, Julie heels are NOT machine washable while Aria 5° are opposite.
