KICKS THAT CARE

by Kelsey Walsh

The fashion industry is the one of the largest emitter’s of greenhouse gases as well as the 2nd largest consumer of the world water supply (over 2,000 gallons for one pair of shoes? Oh ok.) Fast fashion continues to take over the planet and pollute our oceans with micro-plastics causing a whole novel of issues for our marine life.

As the seasons change you may be on the look-out for a new sustainable addition to your shoe collection. Whether you’re looking for slip-ons, a nice sneaker, some outdoor sandals or a classy vegan heel, the companies below have whatever your heart desires

Let’s get those toesies covered in planet-friendly goods shall we?
