If you’re looking for sneakers that are made ethically and with natural materials, you’ll probably be hard-pressed to find much from the big brands.

The sneakers are made with canvas crafted from fair-trade cotton, raw natural rubber harvested via ethical tapping and leather from tanneries that are Gold-rated by the Leather Working Group. The final product is a sneaker that looks good, feels comfortable and is consciously made. All shipping to customers is carbon-neutral, and they still ship them to you for free. If you want a sneaker that you can feel good about, and that you’ll love wearing, look no further than Cariuma — and right now Gear Patrol readers will also be able to score 15 percent off a pair of kicks.
