ZOURI 🇵🇹 - Shoes made from plastic trash found in the ocean

After reading the headline I thought it's about Shoes that are made from plastic trash are now found in the ocean. I was rather relieved after reading the text :-)
- Give it time.
  
  You can make Pi sized shoes and make them and I'm sure it will happen without doubt. Make those fuckers 4E and fucking no. No, you'll fucking never do that. Spits on the ground.
Hi from Portugal, my wife and I have a couple pairs of these. Super comfortable, and you’re helping pay to clean Portuguese beaches!
Did the freightliner carrying the plastic trash shoes to port sink or something?
- Which product is not vegan? I'm looking and I only see vegan ones.
  It's probably some UX/Marketing to specifically put "Vegan Shoes" in the header on their website.
  On the about page it says this:
  ZOURI is an eco-vegan footwear brand that uses plastic trash from the Portuguese coast together with ecologic and sustainable materials.
Ok? Is that product biodegradable? Or if it gets put in the ocean does it become the 2nd generation material for these shoes?
- It's up cycled trash. So it help reduce the use of virgin plastic. But it's only slightly better than plastic shoes
  
  Yeah, it's a weird concept that I'm not sure how I feel about it...
  On the one hand, I'm paying towards something which makes cleaning the ocean more cost effective
  On the other hand, when I'm done with the shoes... do I... burn them?
- Why would they put the shoes back in the ocean?
  
  Why did that turtle end up with a straw in his nose? Humans are the worst thing that has happened to the earth.
Couldn't find a pair i liked in my size
Some bullshit there's no 7.5 mens
Expensive as hell
- There were some on sale for like 60€
  
  I know! Expensive as hell!
