3 Timeless Shoes for Summer
Ethical and transitional shoes to wear right now
Ethical and transitional shoes to wear right now
Today, I thought I’d recommend a few of my favorite pairs of shoes. I like to shop for high quality, transitional shoes that work in all seasons if possible, and focus on styling them with summer-forward outfits like breezy dresses, flowy pants and cropped tops. I aim to purchase just a few of pairs of shoes every year and care for them with things like natural leather cleaner from Cuyana and Rothy’s shoe cleaner to make them last.
Veja V10 | $150
These have been my go-to sneakers for the last three years or so, and I finally picked up a second pair. There’s nothing quite like a brand new pair of stark white tennis shoes, and these are crafted from responsibly-sourced leather and rest on a wild rubber sole that's sustainably harvested from the Amazonian forest in Brazil.
Dr. Martens Geraldo Leather Gladiator Sandal | $150
These close-toed Docs are made of Brando leather which is a full-grain, waxy leather that is tough and durable, developing a worn-in vintage look over time. The leather Dr. Martens uses is a byproduct of the food industry and they’re members of the Leather Working Group as well as the Animal Welfare Group. They’re also on target to achieve 100% leather traceability by 2024.
Paloma Wool Margot Boot | $350
This pair of butter yellow boots by Paloma Wool are made of high quality, durable leather that uses natural tanning and environmentally-friendly finishing practices and they’re handmade in Spain.
I hope you found a new pair of high quality and timeless shoes to wear throughout all seasons. These brands each produce with lovely attention to detail and offer so many other excellent options should you be looking for different styles.
