A North East company has launched a footwear line that will cut down on pollution and improve your posture.
Seapigs, a beach footwear brand coined in Newcastle, is committed to saving the planet as well as customers’ feet.
And they are so sure that their Drifters – sustainable and ergonomically designed – will replace Flip-Flops as go-to casual footwear that they are offering early adopters an opportunity to be part of the company.
The Seapigs brand is based around a family of pigs who were shipwrecked on an uninhabited island in the Bahamas and learned to swim.

The brand is environmentally friendly – it promises to use no materials that are not sustainable and will take back any used Drifters – and offers other benefits to buyers.
The 4-Layer Sole Technology allows the foot –or trotter- support as well as freedom to adapt and mould, going above and beyond other beach and casual footwear brands. This is endorsed by Mike Geritz, sports physiotherapist, who said: “The sole of the SeaPigs Drifter allows the foot to be supported, but also the freedom to adapt. This will be beneficial to all.”
Every pair of Seapigs Drifters will be made from completely recyclable material, a claim that is close to the heart of the Head of the Herd, Mick Armstrong.
Mick said: “We believe in transparency, sustainability and fairness – this is not about big brands, massive corporations or the wealthiest 1%. This is about being a profitable, sustainable company that gives customers what they want while respecting Our Tiny Blue Dot – the planet Earth.
“And we aim to go further by offering those that have faith in our company and vision a share in the rewards.”
Early investors in the Seapigs Kickstarter campaign will be rewarded with an interest in the company and its success with up to 1% of shares up for grabs.
They will also be able to pick up Seapigs Drifters and Limited Editions for a fraction of the recommended retail price.
Mick added: “This is beach footwear that doesn’t cost the Earth.” Learn more at seapigs.co.uk
