Po-Zu’s Star Wars Hi-Top Porg Sneakers Have Flown Their Way Into My Heart
May the Fourth be with you!

Happy Star Wars Day, everyone. I’m sure many of you will be watching one (if not several) films today about the galaxy far, far away, I was busy trying on some new sneakers! Specifically, Po-Zu’s new Porg sneakers!!
Po-Zu has a really cool line of Star Wars footwear (including film accurate items like Rey’s boots) licensed with Lucasfilm/Disney but overall the company creates ethical footwear from sustainable materials and the new Porg styles are just some of their latest vegan sneakers. Their new items include the Porg sneakers in hi-top and regular, a pair stylized with a Millennium Falcon technical drawing, and a Han Solo shoe!
My pair o’ Porgs arrived yesterday and I got to take them for a test drive on Star Wars Day, which was perfect timing. I’m also wearing a Her Universe Floral Rebellion romper here!
Materials:
- Entire sole including foxing and toe cap is made in locally sourced Fair Trade rubber sole, certified by the Fair Rubber Association. Featuring removable memory-foam Foot-Mattress™ (allows orthotics placement) in latex and coconut husk.
- Upper: Organic Cotton Canvas
- Lining: Organic Cotton Canvas
- Footbed: Organic Cotton Canvas
- Foot-Mattress: Coconut Husk & Natural Latex 5mm thick (removable) which moulds to your foot shape
- Sole: Fair Trade Rubber
I haven’t actually worn a pair of sneakers in a while so I was wondering how I’d feel about these but they’re very comfortable! And probably even more so after I break them in a bit. They’re very lightweight, too. Besides the obviously adorable Porg highlights, my favorite aspect is the rubber sole as I have to be careful with slippery shoes. They’re less white and more of a cream color which actually works really well. Here’s hoping I can keep them clean!
