    Sounds like progress.

    "Does the world need more socks? We'll find out. It just feels a little bit like the start."
    Allbirds currently make their shoes from superfine merino wool – mostly from NZ but a bit from Australia – and South African eucalyptus fibre.
    Shoelaces are made of recycled plastic and soles are made from SweetFoam, which is derived from sustainable sugarcane.
    Allbirds have made SweetFoam an open-source product, and around 100 other footwear companies around the world are now using it, Brown says.
