Luckily, however, material information is usually the easiest to come by. So, when you begin shopping, investigate some of the following materials-related factors before heading to the checkout:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plastics vs. organic materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Does the online description or physical box describe the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/what-are-the-most-sustainable-fashion-materials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainable fashion materials<\/a> used to construct the shoe? Look for a pair made from naturally-occurring components like bamboo, sugar cane, or organic composites. Shoes made from recycled plastic or recycled materials (like synthetic rubber and even recycled plastic bottles) can also cut the mustard, depending on other factors. Another example of synthetic material is vegan leather.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recyclability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 A more difficult quest is determining whether or not your ideal shoes are recyclable. While shoes of the past generally can\u2019t be recycled unless you disassemble them, times have changed. Look for shoes with limited materials, which are more likely to meet local recycling center guidelines.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eco Friendly Materials sourcing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Are the materials used to make your next pair of shoes ethically and sustainably sourced? For shoes primarily made of plastic, for instance, remember that many fuel products are imported. As such, they tend to rack up a higher carbon footprint than goods made entirely from domestic materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>#2 Durability<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not the type of shopper to examine every material used to construct your shoe under a microscope, consider a simpler approach to sustainability: prioritizing durability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a well-made, higher-priced pair of shoes instead of a cheaply-made, low-quality pair both reduces your carbon footprint <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saves your wallet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s explore an example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You purchase a pair of new walking sandals for everyday wear for $20.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a few months, one shoe breaks, and you immediately replace them with another $20 pair, despite knowing that the cheaper product is less durable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you cycle through one $20 pair of shoes every three months, you\u2019ll spend $160 on shoes during a two-year period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If, instead of a poorly-made $20 pair, you invest in a higher-quality pair of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/comfortable-walking-sandals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">walking sandals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for $100 that\u2019ll withstand the test of two years&#8217; time, you\u2019ve saved $60\u2014and time spent buying new shoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since shoe manufacturing both requires resources and creates emissions, you also make a more sustainable choice by purchasing the more durable product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opting for high-quality goods over cheaply-made fast fashion products is the right decision for the environment\u2014and your checking account\u2014in nearly every case.<sup>4<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3 Production Processes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also consider if the fashion brand has sustainable practices. Researching a shoe manufacturer\u2019s production processes can provide a window into their commitment (or lack thereof) to sustainable footwear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While materials and durability are significant factors when searching for eco-friendly shoes, you\u2019ll often find the devil in the details. Try to ascertain the following information before committing to a purchase:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Importing and exporting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Some shoes are assembled outside the US to avoid environmental manufacturing restrictions. But remember that it takes fossil fuels (and creates emissions) to ship the materials to a facility abroad <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> send them back to the US.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Alternative fuel and energy use in production<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Does your favorite brand use coal power to keep the lights on in its assembly facility? Research the extent to which your shoe company of choice relies on fossil fuels or coal instead of alternative fuels and renewable energy sources.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Labor ethics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 How does your shoe brand support a sustainable economy? For instance, if your next pair is produced in a facility where workers are underpaid, their workforce likely has no choice but to buy low-quality, inexpensive goods, undermining their ability to make environmentally responsible choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/women\/active-sneakers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7899 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Active-Sneakers-NEW.jpg\" alt=\"shop-walking-shoes-for-women\" width=\"998\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Active-Sneakers-NEW.jpg 998w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Active-Sneakers-NEW-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Active-Sneakers-NEW-768x180.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>How to Find Sustainable Shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information above can take significant effort to find and assess. Fortunately, someone has likely already done the homework for you\u2014you simply need to know where to look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consult Customer Reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer reviews are a gold mine for information about a product you\u2019re considering\u2014if consumers take issue with a company policy, have complaints about durability, or question a brand\u2019s ethics, online reviews offer one of few places to voice their distaste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that you\u2019re not just looking for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">negative<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> information. Consult the reviews to discover the advantages of products, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few places where you can find comments and information from real people regarding your chosen shoe brand:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brand\u2019s product pages and website<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company\u2019s social media pages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third-party forums or message boards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First-hand accounts from people you know<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, make sure to prioritize sources that incorporate a variety of different perspectives.

If you have a hard time sussing out how sustainability fits into their business model, look for information elsewhere\u2014their social media pages might be more informative.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Ask the Experts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t you wish someone could tell you which are the best sustainable shoes? There\u2019s an expert in every field. If you\u2019re not sure where to start in your search for sustainable footwear, turn to a qualified professional in your community for advice and information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some potential sources could be:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your local cobbler<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 An established shoe repair expert in your area would be very qualified to comment on product durability. Ask them which brands they see most often in need of repairs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and how preventative maintenance can extend the life of your shoes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sustainability experts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Colleges and universities continue to add sustainability-informed courses to their curricula. Consult with an environmentalist expert at your local higher education institution, and ask if they have any insight on sustainable shoe brands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Podiatrists or orthopaedists<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Doctors specializing in foot health and mobility provide shoe and product recommendations to patients. Even if you\u2019re not currently experiencing any mobility issues, consider asking them for the sustainability run-down on the brands they typically suggest.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might seem daunting to ask for a professional opinion. However, it\u2019s much easier to ask for advice from someone who\u2019s already done their research than it is to pore over reports, materials lists, and news articles to draw your own conclusion. Plus, a little outside help could get you into a new, eco-friendly pair of shoes more quickly than expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Vionic Shoes: Sustainable, Durable, and Fashion-Forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve never considered sustainability in your search for the perfect kicks, there\u2019s never a bad time to begin making positive changes for the environment\u2019s sake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vionic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we understand the need for high-quality, comfortable shoes that work for every style\u2014and don\u2019t inflate your carbon footprint.
