FAQ
OUR PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION
All our shoes are vegan and PETA certified. We use a variety of recycled, upcycled, and bio-based materials. Our materials range between recycled nylon, recycled plastic bottles, recycled rubber, recycled ocean plastic waste, upcycled canvas, upcycled denim, and upcycled army surplus. You can see exact materials used under each shoe model by clicking on “Material composition”.
Our AppleSkin material is made from apple waste sourced from farms in Northern Italy. They are dried into a powder, a little bit of recycled plastic is added to make it water resistant, which then turns them into a leather-like textile. The end result is a totally plant-based, vegan and sustainable leather. Learn more about how AppleSkin is made HERE.
All our materials are sourced in EU countries such as Spain, France and Italy. Shoes are designed and developed in Paris, France.
Production of the shoes is done in Guimarães, Portugal, in a family-owned factory. Virón guarantees ethical production along the entire production line.

We recommend picking 0.5 to 1 size smaller compared to performance/running shoes. You can find more information about sizes in our “Size Guide” under every product listed on our website.
Our packaging is composed of a recycled, biodegradable box, recycled wrapping paper, and recycling-friendly Kraft tape.
Our products are restocked seasonally, to avoid continuous mass-production. If you are looking for a model from an autumn-winter collection, that item will only be restocked in the next autumn-winter period. In case you are not sure which collection an item belongs to, feel free to contact us!
As we stand against mass-consumption, and believe everyone should buy consciously, we do not hold sales, nor do we participate in sales-actions such as “Black Friday”.
However, every first Thursday of the month we hold Virón4All, where you can buy certain models at a discount. We donate 100% of profits from sales made during Virón4All to animal and climate organisations. Check our socials for more info!
