Sustainable Shoes; Sustainable Life : The Veja Life

VEJA, one of the most comfortable tenner shoes I have ever owned (and growing up an athlete I have worn a lot of tenner shoes). But when life became more then needing shoe support on the court, I needed a pair of fashion shoes that still let me be comfortable during any occasion.

In January, I started a new job as an assistant inventory planner for an outdoor specialty retailer. Not only does this job combine my love for spreadsheets and fashion, I am also working for a retail company that takes a stance to help our planet; something I try and to keep a conscious mind about when making a purchase.

Veja is the first sneaker brand to make fabric from recycled and transformed materials. From cotton to rubber, upcycling to deconstructing, The Veja Project mixes social and economical justice with ecological materials to construct their perfect sneakers. Check out their website for more information on how they are combatting retail industry waste.

Every girl needs a tenner shoe that can be dressed up or down. My favorite way to style Vejas are with dresses, perfect for transition from Summer to Fall and an effortless piece of clothing to throw on in the morning before work. Check out some style inspo below!
