You see, with organic socks I know a lot, rather a lot, but with eco-friendly shoes I'm struggling a bit. Admittedly, to tell the truth, there isn't too much choice. It's either organic cotton sneakers or a few rare brands that practice vegetable tanning. And when you saw the report on Envoyé Spécial about leather, you yourself know that manufacturing is really quite disgusting...
One brand stands out from the crowd, you either like it or you don't, it's El Naturalista. It's true, I won't lie, it's quite a peculiar style, especially their soles, but you see, it's mainly their famous soles that differentiate them from ordinary shoe brands.
The leather is almost chrome-free, because chrome, well, that's the problem with leather shoes.
But in addition to making healthier shoes for the feet, El Naturalista is committed to an ethical approach, and you understood that I really like that! Indeed, they help an association in Peru, in Arequipa, which is a home for abandoned and disabled children.
Well, it's cold, here are two pairs of boots that are catching my eye :)
They cost between 125€ and 136€, plus they're on sale!
Otherwise, I have a pair of El Naturalista for summer, ballet flats, and even if you have to get used to the sole at first, they are super comfortable!
And you, have you succumbed to eco-friendly shoes?
