As a politically and socially correct acting person to buy fair trade coffee in the health food store printed on recycled paper and of course has a "No advertising" sticker on the mailbox. All that I have that too. Last year I me even my first pair of shoes purchased Fair Trade - from AntiApathy and TerraPlana in the shop of Fair Wear .
The Worn Again Escape Vegan Vegan are manufactured under the hopefully reasonably good working conditions of recyclable material in China. Now let therefore be a first intermediate test, for what is fair and be expensive for a long time do not have the quality that one expects from other companies (take it with workers' rights not as serious).
The shoes after 3 months of wear: the lining is torn and the insole to the sausage rolls. So, I've worn the shoes a total of maybe 3 months, ie two months last fall, about 1 month with good weather now in the spring. Since the shoes are made of fabric, they are under current climatic conditions, only limited applicability for our latitude. But that is the climate of Capitalism addressed soon enough. In any case, there are good, light summer shoes. The lining begins to break unfortunately, because of relatively thin - of material (T-shirt?). The insole has been rolled forward to the sausage. The seams are all still intact and there is no purely external problems.
On the whole I like the shoes still, mainly because they look good and are easy. However, if you expect a long shelf life (which I expect if I spend € 89 for shoes), is probably not well served. I give the pair of shoes or the summer, it will probably be new required.
