Eco-Shoes Made of Earth

by Nicole Dorsey Straff

From the goddess of well-being in Celtic mythology, Ahnu Footwear balances work and play, as well as business goals with social responsibility. Ahnu uses certified post-consumer recycled paper in company catalogs and packaging, and their nonprofit, earthy commitment is visible throughout the brand. The Sequoia ($100) hiker I wear now is breathable with mesh uppers and full support around the ankle. A snug heel cup translates to superior traction on gravelly roads, packed dirt and paved roadways. The patented lacing system makes me feel like I‘m wearing ruby slippers every time I lace up those puppies. Bonus: The shock dispersal plate in the forefoot prevents toe stubs without weighing me down. Love them! www.ahnufootwear.com – Nicole Dorsey Straff
