ethical soles: no sweat!


ethical soles is a canadian company that has outsourced its products to manufacturers that are guaranteed to be sweatshop free. e.s. ensures that the products available through its store are environmentally and socially responsible. in its own blurb, they state that “the companies that manufacture these products recognize the power they have to raise social standards in the communities in which they operate, and work tirelessly to reduce the environmental impacts of their production processes.”

at present they have a relatively limited range of items - tees, footwear (including this really nice-looking pair of black hightops that my son and i are coveting as i write this), and yoga pants. parents might be interested to note that they offer footwear for kids. bottom line for me is that it’s nice to be able to shop for good-looking items like these with a clear-conscience!

interested? then head right over to ethical soles’ homepage.
