The Alto Wool hi-top sneaker is made from super soft ethically sourced merino wool with accents of pineapple husk leather. Why super fine merino wool? YY Nation wool is so fine it molds to your foot while maintaining great strength using patented spinning technology. And this YY wool has so many benefits. It keeps your foot temperature regulated, eliminates odor, and it’s machine washable so it’s easy to keep clean. Our high top is a fresh, earth-friendly spin on a classic that can be dressed up or dressed down.
The durable, stable sole is crafted using ingredients of Algae or Sugarcane. Rubber inserts increase grip allowing you to get around with ease.
The Alto Wool is super lightweight—both on your foot and on the planet, with low carbon emissions (average 6.82kg CO2e per pair!) that really ups their feel-good factor. The Alto Wool sneaker with Algae sole uses 6.99kg CO2e. The Alto Wool sneaker with Sugarcane sole uses 6.81kg CO2e compared to an industry average of 14kg CO2e per pair of sneakers. YY Nation carbon results were independently analyzed and certificated using ISO 14067 standards by thinkstep™ and Ekos (™).
