🛞 Rubber

A material you find a lot under your sneakers because it's flexible, grippy and shock-resistant. Natural rubber comes from latex, a liquid derived from the rubber tree. Synthetic rubber, on the other hand, comes from the chemical industry. So obviously, at Rafale, we give top priority to natural rubber, which pollutes much less than synthetic. And we systematically indicate the category of rubber present in each product so that you can choose with all the cards in hand.
