IF YOU LIKE CHUCKS, YOU'LL LOVE THE "ETHLETIC" VERSION

m o r e (fair trade footwear)

Autonomie Project is committed to Fair Trade fashion that's "sweatshop-free and eco-friendly." Partnering with facilities around the world, it supplies high quality goods that honor the earth and the worker while allocating funds for projects benefitting the communities in which they practice.

Autonomie offers tees and kids' stuff and bags and... shoes made by Ethletic.

They're classic (conjuring Converse's Chuck Taylors) with a nontraditional mix of Fair Trade organic cotton canvas, safe dyes, vegan materials, and sustainable rubber latex. Made fairly by "rubber producers in Sri Lanka" and "shoe stitchers in Pakistan" they are a new take on old school. (For about the same retail price.)

Here's another roundup I did of eco-friendly footwear and how to make it last.
