Timeless
ABLE and Everlane are two great brands that not only promote sustainability but also strive for fair trade. We are not only striving for sustainability but also for fair trade. As consumers, we are starting to recognize the power we have and the positive difference we can make not only for the environment but for the people that make our clothing and shoes we wear every day. Ensuring that they have fair wages and environmentally safe working conditions.
1.     ABLE
ABLE is a brand that is based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are dedicated to creating long-term economic impact by employing female artisans around the world. Fashion as we know cuts a lot of corners in order to make profit. The products we enjoy are often made by women who can’t meet the basic needs of themselves or their children. ABLE has realize that this practice is unacceptable, so they are the first company that we know of to publish their wages. As a brand, they believe that transparency is very important and publishing their wages gives their customers information they need to protect the people making their products.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2.   Everlane
Everlane is a brand that is not big on trends. They spend months finding the best factories around the world to produce the best quality and built strong personal relationships with the owners. They want to design pieces that will last for years to come. They feature all their factories on their website with an interactive map, bringing their customers one step closer to an ethical wardrobe. They want to create sustainable pieces that promote fair trade and will be timeless pieces.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hopefully this post helps to discover new brands that are not only being sustainable but are also promoting fair trade. These brands make products that are timeless and will last for years.  Striving for sustainablility and fair trade shouldn't be compromise in fashion. As consumers we should be supporting brands that are trying to make a difference.  
Thank you,
Daisy Martinez

Look Good, Feel Sensible With These 2 Brands!
We should strive to be mindful of the earth, and how we can preserve its well-being. Among other things, the shoes we wear can contribute to the welfare for not just the earth, but the people as well. This week, I’m letting you know about 2 brands that are committed to being resourceful with how their products are made.
1. Matisse Footwear (Los Angeles, CA)
This lifestyle brand appeals to the individuality of the cool, modern woman wears with their vegan line, Coconuts. The stylish options that Matisse offers use environmentally friendly materials such as jute, raffia, and vegan leather. Apart from their dedication to have a sustainable line of footwear, it’s their casual aesthetic with contemporary design that deserves a mention from us here at Sensible Soles.
Tumblr media
A must for your wardrobe: the “Going West” ankle boot, with man-made upper and outsole; hand-crafted out of textured vegan leather. Available in beige snake (as pictured) & brown snake - $90.00
Tumblr media
Inspired by the 70s, the “Cleo” clog shoes are vegan; made of a textile upper, man-made outsole and padded insole. Available in natural (as pictured), black, & pink - $80.00
2. Bourgeois Boheme (London, England)
Unlike Matisse, London-based company Bourgeois Boheme provides footwear that is sustainable and is made cruelty-free for both men and women. British craftsmanship and cognizance of the environment makes Bourgeois Boheme a top choice to go purchase your next shoes. Their stylish & sustainable products are of high quality, as they are usually hand made in Portgual. 
Tumblr media
This is for the men out there. These are the “Benedict Black” monk shoes. Great gift for the stylish man in your life. According to their description, these sleek shoes are made with PVC free eco vegan leather and breathable seed-based Bio-polyoils lining. Beyond those great eco-friendly traits, the shoes just completes a debonair ensemble for any casual or special occasion. - £131.00 ($173.71)
Tumblr media
A beautiful silhouette of a slip on for those days on the beach that lie ahead. This “Victoria Pinatex” is a vegan sandal made with pineapple leaf fibre material Pinatex & breathable seed-based Bio-polyoils lining that was found in the Benedict Black. 100% animal-free materials. - £43.00 ($57.03)

 Welcome back to Sensible Soles!  Where sustainability meets shoes.  Weekly, we inform you on the latest sustainable shoe brands and cover the hottest styles.  This week, I found two appreciable brands that will blow your mind and possibly your wallet.  Rothy’s offers shoes that are created with ethical fabrics and materials that are made of post-consumer products which are used in their products.  Darzah is a non-profit ethical fashion brand who creates handmade shoes and believes in sustainability, fair wages and tradition. 
Rothy’s
Rothy’s creates sustainable shoes for both women and girls.   There are four types of designs that Rothy’s offers.  All shoe designs are slip-on style and require no shoe laces.  The materials used are made of 100% post-consumer plastic water bottles.  The recycled plastic is either recycled or converted to renewable materials which are used in Rothy’s shoes and packaging.  To date they have recycled 24,234,858 plastic water bottles!  Aside from their ethicality they’ve created affordable, stylish and practical shoes.
The Sneaker in Electric Lemon - $125
Tumblr media
The Sneaker is my personal favorite of the bunch.  This casual style can be worn regularly on a day-to-day basis. If you’re running errands, heading to class,  or simply going to hang out with your friends this is your go-to shoe.
The Point in Flax Birdseye - $145
Tumblr media
The Point is great for special occasions or perfect for the office.  This sleek design is classy and timeless.  This style also comes in bold bright colors and prints.
The Loafer in Fuchsia Navy Snake - $165
Tumblr media
The Loafer has a fun preppy aesthetic.  The bold patterns and hues they’ve used will be sure to grab your attention!
The Flat in Captoe Black - $125
Tumblr media
If your style is a little more conservative, The Flat is perfect for you!  This adorable design comes in a variety of colors and prints.
Darzah was started by Child’s Cup Full, a non-profit women’s economic empowerment initiative.  It is based in Zababdeh, a village located in the northern West Bank.  Darzah creates shoes handmade by Palestinian women who specialize in tatreez embroidery, an art form that began centuries ago that has been passed down generation after generation.  Each piece is hand-embroidered and made with leather locally sourced by a family-ran manufacturer.  Their mission is two create economic opportunities for refugee and low-income women/artisans and to celebrate tatreez embroidery and Palestinian cultural heritage. This certified fair trade brand has got my attention!
The Tatreez Flat in Teal - $209 --> ON SALE $ 189
Tumblr media
This adorable flat is an attention grabber!  Made of premium leather and highly detailed embroidery, its unbelievable they are on sale!
Anklet Boot in Black and Ecru - $265 
Tumblr media
I know what I want for my birthday... These shoes are so cute! The amazing ecru detail goes beautifully with the dark leather.
The Tatreez Oxford in Nude - $189
Tumblr media
Oxfords are a modest look that we can all appreciate.  I personally thought these shoes were adorable.
Welp, thats a wrap! I hope you’ve found something that caught your eye.  Thank you for catching up with us! See you next week

Plastic has become a problem for the environment especially for the ocean. Parley AIR is the strategy to end the fast-growing threat of marine plastic pollution.

Here Are 2 European Brands Dedicated to Stylish & Sustainable Shoes
We’re back for Week 2 for SensibleSoles. As always, we will continue to let you know about shoe brands that are invested in being sustainability. This week, I’m letting you know about a couple of European eco friendly footwear brands that are committed to offering sneakers that are made of sustainable materials, while sustaining the stylish flair every step you take. 
1. Veja
 This brand from Paris, France offers an array of stylish shoes for those who feel green is the new black. Beyond the use of sustainable materials like organic cotton and wild rubber, Veja is also committed to sourcing their materials via fair trade, collaborating with small producers. Also, it’s no surprise that famous figures such as actress Emma Watson and actor Eddie Redmayne and more recently, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle have been photographed wearing shoes from this trendy, eco friendly label.

2. Love Sofie
The mission of this Swedish shoes and accessories brand is to provide consumers an opportunity “to be stylish and kind at the same time.” They are conscious of how the product is created by sourcing responsible while maintaining its company mantra of being animal & cruelty free as well as vegan. They offer products ranging from casual everyday sneakers and flats to a pair of dressy high heels for the night out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Billie - $157.00
These slip on sneakers exude comfort and style. The origami style hearts on the vamp of the shoes also exude a statement. Made out of organic cotton and plant-leather with a rubber sole. Run a quick errand in these shoes by Love Sofie ASAP!

Casually comfortable with color, Emma is a slip in flat for those summer days. Made of recycled pet-polyester with a plant-leather lining. Pair these with a gracefully draping summer dress or your favorite pair of cropped pants! This color scheme is also available in sandals with a block heel.
Veja and Love Sofie are some of the brands with interest in creating the best product possible with conscious effort to not be reckless and careless when it comes the earth and the workers who are instrumental in making our favorite shoes to wear. Green is the new black, ladies and gentlemen. Stay tuned for next week’s blog post. ‘Til we meet again! Take care, my sensible so(u)les!

Shoes meet Sustainability
Interested in sustainability and shoes? Sensible Soles was created to be a source where individuals who are concerned with the production life cycle of shoes, can read up on the latest sustainable shoe news.  Anthony, Daisy and myself (Melissa) will focus on creating weekly blogs that will be posted every Monday of each week.  Each new post will update you on the latest trends regarding sustainable shoes across the globe.  If you wish to learn about alternative brands who follow sustainable methods, follow our blog!  We hope to inspire our readers to go-green and to minimize the overall waste and emissions that is created by something we all own and love, shoes!  
This week, I wanted to cover two interesting sustainable brands that follow ethical practices.  These companies strive for environmentally safe working conditions, fair wages, reduced waste and emissions.  If you’re looking for a new sandal, shoe or boot you’ll be sure to find something that catches your eye from either one of these brands!
1.     Birkenstock
Birkenstock is a German company that has been setting new standards for environmental awareness for decades.  In 1988, they created an environmentally friendly adhesive that stunned the world.  By 1990, they were able to modernize and expand their production across the U.S. in order to reduce energy consumption by an astonishing 90%!  Today, Birkenstock have become extremely detailed in their production by using natural materials such as cork and jute while 90% of their packaging is created from recycled paper.  Birkenstock currently sells boots, shoes and sandals for boys, girls, men and women.  
Tumblr media
Women’s Arizona Essentials - $39.95
 This is one of my favorite go-to sandals.  They are great to have during the summer.  It’s an obvious name once you’ve owned a pair!
Tumblr media
Women’s Arran Shoe - $180
These are a perfect every day sneaker made of quality leather and natural materials.
Tumblr media
Men’s Flen Leather Shoe - $180
This upscale look can be worn in the office or dressed down with jeans.  These create a great look!
Tumblr media
Women’s Gizeh Sandal - $100
This thong-style sandal offers an everday look while keeping a more functional design.  Another basic must-have item for summer!
2.     Allbirds
Allbirds is a shoe brand that uses sustainable resources such as wool, sugarcane, castor bean oil and recycled cardboard and water bottles in their shoe design.  Merino wool is used to create the exterior of the shoe and has been the main focus for starting Allbirds.  The sugarcane is used to create SweetFoam  to create the soles of the shoe.  Recycled plastic bottles are upcycled into Sugar Zeffer straps.  Recycled cardboard is used to create the Allbirds packaging. While the castor bean oil is used in the Zeffer straps interior and anchors.  This company has created shoes in a range of styles for Women and Men and there is one style made for Kids.
Tumblr media
Men’s Wool Runners - $95
This shoe is an idealistic purchase. This versatile shoe can be worn in the day or at night due to its great choice in fiber and design.
Tumblr media
 Women’s Wool Loungers - $95
This comfortable yet stylish slip-on will leave you forgetting you’re wearing any shoes! They are light-weight and made with all natural materials. 
Tumblr media
Small Bird Wool Runners - $55
These adorable functional shoes are totally affordable! The whole family can own a pair.
Tumblr media
These two brands have done what seems to most --the impossible!  It’s amazing what we can do when we make an effort to go-green.  I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog! Stay tuned for next weeks post
