Where To Find Vegan, Ethical and Eco-Friendly Hiking Boots
Since I live on a 120-acre property with mixed parts of flat, bushy, rocky and hilly terrain, hiking boots form an essential part of my sustainable wardrobe. I’d been wearing my Mamahuhu boots which has been a welcome change to gumboots, but they’re not really made for off-road terrain and I feel it’s time to move on.

Flip-Flops in the Office: Tragedy or Triumph?
When were flip-flops—or really, thong sandals—first worn? That’s the million-dollar question. The idea of a flat sandal with a thong that goes between the big toe and the second toe and then stretches across the foot on either side—I can’t think of a more elegant way of putting it—certainly dates back as far as ancient Egyptian time.

Hands-on with Nike’s self-lacing, app-controlled sneaker of the future
I flew across the country to Portland to experience the Adapt BB, Nike’s new self-lacing, Bluetooth-enabled sneakers, but the guy showing me around campus is wearing a pair of Zoom Flys that refuse to stay tied. Within 10 minutes of tying them, they’re untied again, flailing all over. I hate when people point out my untied shoes, but his feel intentional. Of course I notice the laces. Of course I point them out. He laughs and swears he’s not doing this on purpose, that Nike hasn’t deliberately set up my visit with a scene out of an infomercial fail.

Why did men stop wearing high heels?
For generations they have signified femininity and glamour - but a pair of high heels was once an essential accessory for men. Beautiful, provocative, sexy - high heels may be all these things and more, but even their most ardent fans wouldn't claim they were practical. They're no good for hiking or driving. They get stuck in things. Women in heels are advised to stay off the grass - and also ice, cobbled streets and posh floors.

Every single piece of these sneakers is made from plants
Look down at your feet. Your shoes might seem an innocuous, but they contain lots of forms of plastic, and often leather, giving them their own sizeable carbon footprint. As all companies try to limit their plastic use, shoe manufacturers are trying to design new shoes with lower embedded emissions. Canadian shoe company Native Shoes is doing it by making a shoe that’s entirely biodegradable, because every component is made from plant material.
