On the hunt for your new favourite everyday sneaker? Discover our top picks for more ethical and sustainable sneakers below.

The best, more responsibly made kicks on the market

Sneakers have always maintained their status as a staple piece. Rain, snow, or shine, a versatile pair of sneakers is a closet favourite that transcends seasons. Unlike our functional running or gym shoes, which stay on our shelves for a few years, “trend” sneakers are replaced more often. As a product of the fast fashion industry, consumers are trained to run out to buy a new pair of sneakers as soon as the previous trend has lost its momentum. But investing in a pair of more ethical, high quality shoes and learning how to take care of them is ultimately more sustainable for the planet and for your bank account.

Here’s the lowdown on the more sustainable sneaker trailblazers that are prioritising people, the planet, and animals.

Lastly, we understand that even sneakers made to last have a lifespan⁠—so when your shoes cannot handle another mile, consider donating them to the likes of Soles4Souls or Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe Program. With that, happy browsing.
