These days, we can all do our part to help the environment by making our shopping habits more sustainable and climate-conscious. One way to do so is to buy a pair of SeaVees.
SeaVees is a historic brand originally made by BF Goodrich in the 1960’s and revived by shoe designer Steve Tiller in the early 2000s. Since its reemergence, SeaVees has incorporated giving back to many charities and environmental groups into their business model.

SeaTrees is focused on protecting kelp forests that have become decimated by purple sea urchins, a natural consumer of kelp. Recently, purple sea urchins have been multiplying at alarming rates since their natural predators, fish and lobster, have been removed from kelp forests by humans. SeaTrees aims to reverse that impact and return the purple sea urchin population to normal levels.
If you’d like to give even more, you can increase your impact by purchasing from these SeaVees collections:
