In celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd, Well+Good is highlighting the importance of sustainable practices, especially when it comes to shopping for shoes. Did you know that in the US alone, over 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away each year, with 95 percent ending up in landfills? This is a concerning issue that Cariuma is actively working to address.
Cariuma is a frontrunner in ethically and sustainably handmade sneakers. Since 2018, they have been prioritizing green initiatives in every aspect of their business, from design to shipping. By using natural materials like bamboo, sugarcane, organic cotton, and recycled plastics, Cariuma creates durable and eco-friendly footwear. They also partner with vendors who share their sustainability mission and give back through tree-planting programs for every pair of sneakers sold.
Not only does Cariuma focus on sustainability, but they also prioritize quality and comfort. Each collection is carefully designed with features like a protective toe cap, memory foam insole, and durable outsole for maximum comfort and durability. Their latest releases, like the Uba Pro and Oca Low sneakers, are not only stylish but also environmentally conscious choices for conscious consumers.
As we celebrate Earth Day and beyond, consider supporting Cariuma and their commitment to sustainability. Shop their latest collection of classic sneakers and make a positive impact on the planet with every step you take.
