What difference does it make if Brooks midsoles biodegrade?
Our BioMoGo midsole only makes up part of a shoe. But by making our midsoles biodegrade 50 times faster in a landfill than conventional midsoles, we’re taking a significant step toward doing our part to protect the planet. This one Brooks footwear material change will save more than 30 million pounds of landfill waste in the next 20 years. That’s enough space to cover more than 1,200 football fields with shoes. Or to bring it closer to our home, those shoes would completely cover Green Lake, one of our favorite running parks in Seattle, with shoes four layers deep.
