Step Into Cruelty-Free Fashion With These 12 Sustainable Vegan Shoes

Etiko is an Australian designer of organic and fair trade clothing and shoes. The brand constantly sets the bar for upholding and campaigning the human rights of people working in traditionally exploitative industry supply chains. The brand is also 100% vegan, creating familiar shoes—like these black slip on style ones—in a radically different way. The soles of this fantastic pair are made of natural latex rubber tapped fresh from a rubber tree, the organic canvas is hand stitched by Certified Fairtrade employees, the brand uses zero animal glues, non-toxic dyes, and the shoes even come in a box made of post consumer waste. I’ll take one, thank you.
