In this episode of The Bridge , host Alex Siegars speaks with Alan Guyan, Founder and CEO of made+ , at the Palm Beach International Boat Show about yacht footwear, sustainable materials, domestic manufacturing, marine performance, and why practical design matters around docks, decks, and yachts. Based in Annapolis, Maryland, made+ is creating footwear with a focus on reducing waste, using recycled materials, and building shoes designed to last. Alan explains how the company uses recycled plastic bottles in its shoe uppers, Michelin outsoles for grip and performance, and removable components that allow the shoes to be washed and used longer. For yacht crew, captains, marine professionals, and anyone working around the water, footwear is not just about appearance. It has to be comfortable, cleanable, reliable, and suited to demanding marine environments. In this episode: • Why made+ is focused on sustainable footwear • How recycled plastic bottles are used in the shoe uppers • Why durability matters in marine and yachting environments • The importance of washable, practical footwear • How Michelin outsoles support grip and performance • Why domestic manufacturing still matters • Where sustainability and function meet in footwear 🌐 Learn more: made+: https://www.madeplus.com Yacht Crew Center: https://yachtcrewcenter.com/ 📺 Prefer to read?
