Boot & Clog Product InfoUpdated a month ago

What Are They Made Of?

Our Merry People boots and clogs are made with a 100% waterproof, FSC-certified natural rubber compound for the uppers and outsoles. They also feature a metal stability shank, poly-cotton pull tabs, and a 4mm neoprene lining, making them fully waterproof.

The insoles in our Tully, Andie, and Fergie boots are made from recycled PU, and we’re working to expand this sustainable feature across our entire range.

While a few additional materials are used to set the rubber and add color (like bonding agents and pigment powder), we do not use any PFAs or "forever chemicals" in our manufacturing process.

Our boots are 100% cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, and made without any animal products or byproducts.

Latex Allergy?

As latex is a naturally occurring rubber protein originating from the rubber plant, we cannot guarantee the natural rubber we use will be latex-free. If you have a latex allergy, we don't recommend our Merry boots and clogs.

If you have any other allergy concerns or would like more information on the production of our products, please reach out to our team at [email protected]. 

Where Are They Made?

To make sure Merry People footwear and accessories meet our quality standards, we work directly with some of the world’s leading factories to bring our designs to life.

Our factories are based in China and Vietnam, and we’ve built long-standing, close relationships with them over many years. Through their established supplier networks, we’re able to source high-quality natural rubber, neoprene, and vegan glue to craft our boots and RPET materials that form our sandals.
These factories are considered some of the best in manufacturing and produce for many well-known global brands. We’re incredibly proud that our main boot factory chose to work with us back in 2014, when Merry People was still very much a fledgling brand.

We continue to work directly and closely with our factory partners, staying in regular contact and visiting frequently to ensure high standards are upheld and that employees work in safe, healthy environments and are paid a living wage.

Social and Environmental Compliance

Each factory in our supply chain is regularly audited to ensure they meet both the Merry People Code of Conduct and international compliance standards for both social and environmental compliance..

Factories are audited using the SMETA reporting system by Sedex or BSCI by Amfori.

These audits assess categories such as compensation, including checking all staff attendance records and payslips for above minimum wages, health & safety, no youth / child or involuntary labour being used, fair overtime pay and hours, non-discrimination, PPE and the environmental impacts.
