My favourite shoes!

I got one of the first pairs of these back at the start of 2020 and have worn them ever since. Now I've got a second pair and they're just as good. They might even be a bit better, as there's a little bit of extra room for the little toes.

It is wonderful to know at last that when you're walking around you're not polluting as you go, shedding microplastics everywhere.

And these shoes are really comfortable as well as simply stylish.

Thank you WAES!

Heroes in zeros

They are not for me but my son, and daughter-in-law. I will see how they find them, after Christmas. And will let you know. I find them very comfortable having tried on a pair sent to my sister.

Very comfortable!

The shoes are very comfortable and warm! Also had a pleasant experience with the customer service: I asked a question about returning the shoes after their lifetime, and received a friendly reply soon after.

Comfortable plastic free shoes

These shoes are comfortable, stylish, and grippy. Great buy.

Laura Harvey
Hope - Vegan Black/Red Canvas Shoe
Wonderful shoes

Extremely comfortable and reassuringly well built. And the red suede looks fantastic. Time will tell how well the nano-quartz protects the fabric - but I've been wearing a pair of the black leather 1970s all year and they still look as good as new, so I'm hopeful!
