Terra Plana: Reason #1 Not to go Barefoot this Summer

I spied these gorgeous slingbacks from Terra Terra Plana - Doboma SandalPlana that are made with veg leather and a fabulous eye for style a few weeks ago and cannot get them off of my wishlist.

Very eco-chic indeed. The company sources locally when possible to minimize transportation cost and impact and uses recycled materials, like old parachutes for soles.

I cannot wait to get my hands (or maybe feet?) on these cushy looking Dobomas this summer.

    I love terra plana shoes- i wish that they were not so expensive, but i am saving up to buy one good pair of boots that will take me through a few seasons :) … in the meantime I buy my shoes used from the thrift store or vintage on etsy.com. But thrift shoes can have their drawback like yesterday when I walked downtown and laughed hysterically as the soles of both my shoes completely melted right off one after the other and flapped onto the street.

    Xina – even the soles are made from compressed rice husks. Very impressive when you consider how far they go to source vegan raw materials and re-purpose products that are otherwise at the end of their life cycle.

    By the way – not all of their shoes are Vegan friendly. So, make sure that you read the labels, but these have passed the test with several of my discerning friends.
