Native Shoes' "Plant Shoe" Is a 100% Compostable Vegan Sneaker - Green Matters

Posted: 12 Jun 2019 06:06 AM PDT

Native Shoes is known for its "Beast Free" motto, which means the affordable and colorful shoe brand does not use animal products on any of its shoes. And while buying animal-free shoes is always a positive choice for the Earth, there are so many other ways to make sure your shoes are eco-friendly. So, to take their dedication to animals and the environment even further, the team at Native Shoes is launching The Plant Shoe, a 100 percent compostable, natural, plant-based, and unisex sneaker.

A representative for Native Shoes shared the exciting news with Green Matters in an email ahead of The Plant Shoe's June 12 launch. According to the company, The Plant Shoe is the "first and only modern sneaker" that is completely animal-free and biodegradable.

Ask SAM: Where can I donate dress shoes? - Winston-Salem Journal

Posted: 12 Jun 2019 03:45 PM PDT

Q: Due to moving soon, we have 100-plus pairs of shoes, mostly leather and church shoes, that we need to give away. Where may I donate them besides Goodwill?

Q: One good option would be Dress for Success Winston-Salem, which helps women by providing them with suitable clothing for job interviews. They are always in need of appropriate, new or gently used, shoes.

"We need heels, and flats, and anything they can wear to work, and comfort shoes," said Brenda McKinney, a board member of Dress For Success. "It depends on where they're going to be working, so we need a variety of shoes.

"We clean them and make sure they are sanitized. If they have dings in them, we try to either polish them or give them to Goodwill."

They don't need bedroom shoes but can take those and donate them to the Salem Pregnancy Care Center. And the program is for women, so they do not need men's shoes, but can take those to either share with other agencies or sell them at several fundraising events held each year on the Winston-Salem State University campus and elsewhere.

Among the other items they are looking for are interview-appropriate suits and blouses; professional separates including blouses, slacks, skirts, dresses, blazers and jackets; work-appropriate clothes; jewelry and scarves; and handbags, portfolios and briefcases, and toiletry items. They can take new undergarments but not used ones. They can also take evening wear and active wear that can be sold at their fundraisers.

You can find more details about the group's programs and ways to donate clothes or money at winstonsalem.dressforsuccess.org. To make a donation, call them at 336-970-0374 to make sure someone will be there and take them to the group's office at 375 Buxton St., which is typically open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also go to their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/dfsws.

Goodwill does have a program that may be able to put the shoes to good use. Success Outfitters is a "career closet" that provides free clothing to men and women with limited resources as part of its career training program.

The program provides participants with proper attire for job interviews and their first few days on the job once they get hired, giving them time to buy their own clothes. They can take gently used clothing for men or women, including shoes; dress pants and shirts; casual pants and shirts; suits; sport coats; health care uniforms; accessories, such as belts, jewelry, handbags, and so on.

You can contact Mark Smith to schedule a pick-up or a drop-off, either at 336-724-3625, ext. 1387, or by email at msmith@goodwillncnc.org.

If the clothing can't be used in the Success Outfitters program for any reason, it still goes to a good cause in their retail center.

People who are participating in Goodwill's career-training program, and people in the community who are referred to the program by other groups, can get clothes from Success Outfitters for interviews or work.

You might also want to check with churches in your neighborhood to see if any of them provide clothes closets for people in need.

The Best Men's Summer Shoes 2019 - Best Shoes For Summer - esquire.com

best mens summer shoes

Russell & Bromley, Converse

Summer: a joyous time of mirth and worryingly early call times for an Aperol Spritz. This is the most wonderful time of the year. Less so, however, for your feet.

That's because as the world broils, your winter footwear is rendered redundant. Brogues are a no-go, boots a leather-shelled No Man's Land. Instead, we try to find a midpoint that's appropriate for work and the weekend.

A tall order, but luckily one we've solved. The incoming hot weather needn't scorch your style, and we've the best men's summer shoes below to prove it.

1 Cheaney

SHOP

Best For: Smart(ish) Dressers

Summer allows for a relaxation of dress codes. A good thing. But what if you're intrinsically a very smart man. What then?

You don't descend into shorts and T-shirts and sneakers. Instead, you combine your summer-ready shirt and chinos with some suede loafers: a way to add breeze to the ankle, and much softer than regular leather.

Suede Penny Loafers, £325, mrporter.com

2 Vans

SHOP

Best For: Lazy Saturdays

Menswear's preoccupation with the half-pipe refuses to budge. That means you should jump on with both feet.

Vans is a good place to start. Not only is a canvas construction easily washed - important considering summer's surplus of grass stains and scuffs - but the slip-on design sits pretty alongside shorts and white socks and oversized T-shirts.

Comfycush Slip-On Shoes, £57, vans.co.uk

3 Sperry

SHOP

Best For: Prep 2.0ers

Prep style is back. Though instead of sweaters-over-the-shoulders and sneery looks, it's more colourful, more nineties and more at home on Vampire Weekend's Upper West Side than a white party on the Hamptons.

That means you invest in some boat shoes, stat. Sperry's chocolate leather iterations are summer-appropriate, and thanks to Prep 2.0, are decidedly en vogue.

Authentic Boat Shoes, £85, mrporter.com

4 Birkenstock

SHOP

Best For: The Eight Holidays You've Foolishly Booked

The rise of the Birkenstock has been an almighty one. And, better yet, packs a rare collision of style and substance.

Boasting an airy, open-toed design, contoured footbeds make for a comfortable (and breathable) summer tread, granting you carte blanche to pair with your favourite South of France threads.

Arizona Oiled Leather Sandals, £70, mrporter.com

5 Converse

SHOP

Best For: Something Versatile

There's a reason Converse's Chuck Taylor endures. It's classic, for one, but it'll always chime with every other summer staple going.

No, really. Chinos, shirts, shorts, T-shirts, swim shorts - you name it, Converse can match it. These All Star low-tops are no exception to the rule.

Chuck Taylor All Star Classics, £50, converse.com

6 Church's

SHOP

Best For: The Suits

Summer hours? What summer hours, the City of London cries as they slowly fry in suits not remotely adjusted to the heat.

Still, hope is not totally lost. Switch the Oxford or Derby for a loafer, and you've a somewhat lighter way to dress for the office. Maybe keep the jacket off, too.

Willenhall Polished Loafers, £450, mrporter.com

7 Gucci

SHOP

Best For: Poolside

After the misdeeds of blister-inducing nineties flip flops, the slider has been a welcome addition to the suitcase.

What's more, Gucci led the charge of the luxury takeover, adding its signature three-stripe to upgrade your poolside look.

Pursuit Trek Slide, £180, endclothing.com

8 Castañer

SHOP

Best For: Level 10 Comfort

From Spanish peasant shoe to summer footwear proper, the espadrille is defined as a casual, flat shoe with an 'esparto' rope sole.

And it's something that lends itself well to summer. Native brand Castañer have upgraded the formula, too, adding a rubber layer underneath for extra comfort and durability.

Pablo Canvas Espadrilles, £85, mrporter.com

9 Russell & Bromley

SHOP

Best For: Keeping Things Classic

A lace-up deck shoe (not to be confused with the aforementioned boat shoe) is a good fit for warmer months - especially when it's of Russell & Bromley's variety.

Woven leather, while relatively sturdy, still lets in some ventilation, letting you cool down in classic, Italian made hooves that won't slow cook your feet.

Foredeck Shoes, £195, russellandbromley.co.uk

10 Nike

SHOP

Best For: The Sneakerhead Unchained

Nike, a pioneer of the sneaker movement, is a surefire choice for summer: you've got colour, brand prestige and something that'll make you feel inexplicably cool, a lot like those surly teenagers in the perpetual queue at Supreme.

Air Max Light 2, £119, endclothing.com
