OAT Shoes

Just when we were talking about caring for the environment, I came across this: OAT Shoes!

Yes, the picture is for real.
So, OAT Shoes uses biodegradable materials to produce the shoes, and the style & design is pretty cool I say!
When the shoes get old, you just need to bury them in the garden, water regularly, and be patient while the flowers bloom. :]

Who would've thought it's possible.

Then comes my question:
What if it rains when I'm wearing them shoes?
Well, from what I know, biodegradation requires light plus water plus oxygen. All 3 elements come together during a rainy day, no?
Then, the microorganisms tend to reproduce faster in warm temperature. In Malaysia, warmth is not an issue.
OK, the only other thing absent is the land/soil.
So, as long as I don't wear the shoes if I'm going hiking (imagine the muddy soil after the rain), or when it's raining, shan't be a problem then ey?

I want one! :]
