Kavalkade Jodhpur Cortica Vegane from Cork Black

Vegan, sustainable and unique - "Cortica" ankle boots made of cork

Outside of equestrian sports, cork products have long been a sustainable alternative to leather. In equestrian sports, however, they have not yet been widespread. As one of the few equestrian companies, Kavalkade now offers vegan riding accessories made of cork. An environmentally friendly alternative for all vegan horse lovers and horse owners who would like to do without leather. For almost two years the products were developed and thoroughly tested, changed and adapted over and over again. This resulted in the vegan "Cortica" collection, consisting of a bridle, reins, chaps and ankle boots.

The vegan, water-repellent cork ankle boots are an absolute eye-catcher on the foot due to the special material and the narrow beige decorative stripe. The specially developed lasts offer the highest level of comfort. The ankle boots are narrowly cut and have a relatively deep instep, which ensures that even narrow feet have a secure hold in the ankle boots. The high-quality insole ensures optimal pressure distribution in the footbed and is also breathable for a comfortable fit. The robust non-slip rubber sole of the shoe is very flexible and allows anatomical rolling and is therefore gentle on the joints. The zipper has a brass look and relatively coarse teeth for better durability.
The cork ankle boot has a curved side zip. This molds itself comfortably to the ankle. At the front there is an elastic lacing, which offers a good scope for more movement and greater comfort.

Cork fabric - the vegan leather
Sustainable & vegan
As the bark of the cork oak, cork is a renewable, biodegradable raw material. The cork oak can live for over 300 years and is peeled by hand about every 12 years in the course of its life. This makes the tree more resilient and ensures long-lasting cork oak forests that protect against soil erosion and bind a multiple amount of CO2 compared to other trees. A large part of the cork oak grows in Portugal, where they represent a very important ecosystem for many rare animals.

Durable & unique
Cork fabric, also known as cork leather, is very tear-resistant, hard-wearing and also water-repellent. The cork panels of the bark are connected to larger panels with an organic adhesive and thinly cut. Then they are put together like a puzzle and attached to a fabric carrier material, sealed and can finally be processed further as cork material. Like leather, every cork fabric is very special and unique.

Easy-care
Cork products are only cared for by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or sponge.
