Christmas is coming up in less than a week and the It shoes of the season seem to be flying off of the shelves. But we’re here to save you from a case of buyer’s remorse by giving you some sweat-free alternatives to the department store brand-name footwear.
Autonomie Project, Inc:
100% vegan, organic, eco-friendly, and Fair-Trade made! A better pair of shoes has never been made. These quirky kicks resemble the ever-popular All-Stars, but with their own creative spin.
Equita: This online shop features fair trade and green products on the top of our list this year. Equita is the epicenter for organic, fair-trade products, featuring footwear from companies like Tom’s, Veja, No Sweat Apparel, and our favorite Autonomie Project.
Tom's Shoes: One for one is Tom’s promise. For every pair of shoes sold, Tom’s will give one pair to a child in need. Since 2006, Tom’s has given away over 130,000 pairs of shoes. And these light-weight canvas slip-ons are available in 34 different designs (we kid you not).

Welcome!
- Hello, and welcome to your one-stop destination for sweat-free shopping. In basic terms, sweat-free shopping is purchasing items from companies that comply with moral labor standards. This blog will (happily!) guide you in your quest to shop responsibly.
Workers in sweatshops are characteristically overworked, underpaid, and unable to unionize. By purchasing items produced in sweatshops, you are enabling companies to continue their immoral practices. Remember...your dollar has a voice!
This is a brand new blog and is constantly under construction. We are eager to hear any feedback or suggestions you might have towards the improvement of this site.
Happy Shopping!
Tasha and Lindsey.
