There are many shoe makers that are very conscious about the damage done in the process of creating a single pair of shoes. These producers are keenly aware of things like the distances the shoes must travel during shipping and the toxicity of the glues used in making the shoes. These shoe companies are making better choices every eco-fabulous step of the way. See below for examples of recommended companies.

Another superb sustainable way to go is to choose handmade possessions. The “indie” handmade movement has been growing at a steady pace over the last decade. Nowadays, it is gaining steam quickly and even becoming a way of life (and shopping) for eco divas and dudes.
Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the world of sustainable footwear has really come a long way. We no longer have to settle for boxy looking hemp boots and shoes that manage to be both uniformly un-sexy and uncomfortable at the same time.

For every vintage purchase, there is one less new item that gets sold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which means one less item that needs to be produced. This may not be great news for the companies who rely on those trucks to keep moving inventory. However, ultimately it is great news for all of us and the future of our earth, our health and our children.
Every day, in all corners of the globe, factories are churning out more and more stuff. From clothing to furniture and shoes, the cargo containers and shipping trucks get crammed and prepared for a lengthy, oil-burning journey across land and sea. Along with this constant flow of creation and, let’s face it, pollution, people have grown accustomed to having new shiny things almost on a daily basis.
This “new is better” mentality keeps those cargo containers overflowing and our planet in a state of despair. This is where the splendor of vintage comes in to play. Shopping at vintage stores is a marvelous way to consume less [i]new products and more new-to-you products. Now that’s eco-savvy style.
