Actually, it’s much worse than that. Each pair can take up to 1000 years to fully decompose, leaving behind toxic substances in the soil and water. With our recycle scheme, these boots get transported to Italy, where they are shredded and separated into raw materials. From here, they can be turned into things like running tracks and playgrounds.
We refuse to sit on the bench. This is just one step we've taken to start changing the game.
Recycle your old football boots
And get ÂŁ20 off a new pair of Devistas. It's a win-win.
In Europe and the USA, around 12.5 million boots are thrown into landfill each year. A scary number. So scary that it actually made us start the world's first boot recycling scheme.
We accept any boots, from any brand, in any condition, and give you money off a new pair of Sokito boots. Immediately reducing your impact on the planet.
Football boots being thrown into landfill is… well, it’s like scoring an own goal. In a cup final. In the last minute of extra time.

Our materials
Our boots are made using 56% eco-friendly materials. Minimum. These include things like recycled plastic, rubber and waste paper. Which, using innovative technology, we've made into soleplates, inner soles and laces.
We won't rest until we're at 100% though. Take a look at our current materials, and the ones we're looking to sub out, on our product page.
The simple truth.
We know that sustainability is a word that has almost lost all meaning. It's been chronically overused. So here's something simple: if you recycle your boots, you'll be stopping at least one pair reaching landfill. And if you choose to buy the Devista for your next pair, you have our assurance that each boot is made from at least 56% eco materials.
That's more than any other company. And that makes a difference.
What our footballers say
...supporting a brand that is genuinely pushing for positive change...
Sokito’s mission is what attracted me to them first and foremost: I really like supporting a brand that is genuinely pushing for positive change, rather than using sustainability as a buzz word.
...they’ve literally been comfortable since day one.
I love the classic design, and the fact that they are handmade. Plus, they’ve literally been comfortable since day one.
...they support a deadly combo of both speed, agility and technique.
My Sokito boots are extremely comfortable, perfect to maintain a good touch and control, whilst still having enough padding to allow for tackling and striking the ball. They are surprisingly lightweight, meaning as an attacking fullback they support a deadly combo of both speed, agility and technique.
I would definitely buy them again in terms of both aiding my performance on pitch and supporting current issues around sustainability in both football and globally.
...fits like a glove...
Fit of the shoe is the best I’ve had from any pair of boots whether it’s been Nike Adidas or Puma.
Boots are extremely comfortable. Outer leather fits like a glove when you put your fit on and moulds to your feet. Allowing the correct amount of movement depending on change of direction and action preventing slipping inside the boot.
Yes 100%, in the world we live in at the moment with sustainability being so pivotal, the price you pay for a quality pair of boots like these is perfect.
I think the design and the way they are put together is perfect for my feet and I know that if I do buy them they’re going to last longer than one season.
...they feel like an extension of my own feet...
The best way I can describe the fit of my Sokito’s is that they feel like an extension of my own feet, rather than something on the end of them.
More than being just comfortable, Sokito’s have changed the game for me. I can strike the ball cleaner than before, whilst still feeling light on my feet. Giving me the ability to ignite those quick, reactive sprints needed near the end of football matches.
I admit, I was a hesitant to spend slightly more money than I would usually on a pair of football boots. However, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. The boots still feel, and look, as fresh as when I bought them.
...really high-quality...
They're pretty banging boots, thoughtI was getting a takedown-esque boot, ended up getting a really high-quality pair. Don't knock em til you try em.
...never had to wear them in...
I’ve never had to wear them in, which is exactly what you’re looking for as a professional player.
...Sokito is great for the game
Sokito’s move to get boots away from landfill is great for the game, and good for the planet
Up there with the best boots I’ve had.
Up there with the best boots I’ve had. A light boot with ample protection. Most comfortable boots I’ve worn and I’ve had 100’s of pairs.
I must say I’ve not worn leather boots in over 10 years but happily wear yours as their so comfortable and surprisingly light.
They’re definitely the best fitting boots I’ve ever worn
Very comfortable boot, no problem with blisters even on a hard surface in a new boot.
Good support around the ankle, no slippage anywhere.
Really nice look and feel. Really clean look and a really good fit across the whole boot. Very nice to play in. Nice feel on both the instep and on the top of the boot but also feels protected and comfortable.
They’re definitely the best fitting boots I’ve ever worn.
