Civic Duty

The story behind the birth of Civic Duty is truly an inspirational one. Steven Weinreb, Founder and Chief Inspiration Officer, came up with the idea for the Civic Duty brand after he lost his job in 2009 due to the difficult economic climate. Fortunately, Weinreb managed to turn the difficulties of his setback into inspiration and Civic Duty was born. Determined to give people a brand that provides the customer with style as well as an environmentally-conscious attitude, Weinreb decided to reinvent the way we use and see Tyvek. For those of you who are not familiar with Tyvek, it is a water-proof and difficult to tear synthetic material often used on envelopes and as protective wrapping on houses. The result is a collection of shoes made of Tyvek that are recyclable, as well as fashionable. The colors offered are lively while the shoes are comfy! Another pro? The glues and dyes are just as environmentally friendly. Doing good has never looked so stylish!
