Dildo Docs: Are these silicon shoes the future of footwear?
An American sex toy company Doc Johnson has announce the release of an innovative shoe collaboration with celebrity favorite label ROSE IN GOOD FAITH dubbed the “Plastic Sole” that is comprised entirely of unused and discarded sex toys.
That’s right! Due to the insane amount of strong plastic wasted in the manufacturing of sextoys, Rose in Good Faith has decided to make their next silhouette not only functional, but good for the planet.
Announced on Friday, July 15th this project comes after 2 years, they developed a unique recycling system that grinds down the factory's defective dildos into millimeter-sized cubes of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer).
The cubes are then mixed with non-bleach EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam and injection molded into the shape of the Plastic Soul. Not only fashionable, the “Plastic Sole” is infused with a purpose to promote sex positivity as part of Doc Johnson’s global movement to destigmatize sexual health and wellness.
With a focus on inclusion and diversity, Doc Johnson has helped pave the way for advances in sexual health and sex positivity.
The limited shoe costs $130 and ROSE IN GOOD FAITH pulls together elements of sub-culture to form the label’s prolific underground aesthetic. Bridging the realms of luxury fashion and streetwear, the Los Angeles brand’s avant-garde garments boast artisanal quality and premium custom-made fabrics.
Infused with purpose, they added a raised arch in the footbed of the design, intended to support the wearer's foot by lessening any abnormal stress on the knees and hips when compared to flat shoes. As a means of supporting posture and all-day comfort, the Plastic Soul includes a natural cork insole, which molds to the wearer's unique foot shap.
Embodying the synthesis of easy style and progressive sophistication, the unique design hints at the shape of a chunky hiking shoe with the sleekness and energy of a low-ankle runner. Designed for ease of wear and effortless versatility, the futuristic design can both elevate a wardrobe and inject casual comfortability.
The new shoe is a testament to the new approval for sex toys to enter our day to day life, even if they have been reworked a little bit…
