Etiko
3 reviews
I bought slip on shoes 5 years ago and they're still going strong. Incredibly comfortable and look great with everything! I love that they're Fairtrade, organic, natural and are vegan friendly (Etiko uses non animal based glue). The arch support makes them perfect if you want cool looking shoes that are kind to your feet. The slip ons are high quality and the customer service from Etiko is the same, highly recommend!
Follow-up · -How do they perform in wet weather? I don't wear them in wet weather, you could waterproof them if you want to wear them in rain. The top of the shoe is cotton, so I wear them with leggings in cooler weather and bamboo hidden socks in warm weather. They have a generous rubber/latex outer sole, so you might get away with wearing them in mild wet weather. -Do they fit true to size? I purchased a size down which fit well. (I'm usually an AU F 7, I purchased the AU F size 6) -Are they easy to clean and maintain? Yes, I just occasionally wipe them with a damp cloth and they still look great.

Sells fairtrade clothing – Etiko produce good quality t-shirts that I buy every couple of years for my husband when the last lot start to look a bit shabby. I’ve also purchased kid-size t-shirts for my older son and been very pleased with the quality. However I was befuddled by the dreadful fit of their women’s racer back singlets. I actually wrote the Etiko team a detailed email and included a photo (mainly to illustrate how ill-fitted the singlets were on my perfectly normal 5’8, 60kg frame). I hoped they would take it into account so they could sell better singlets in future, as I prefer to purchase from ethical brands. I did not receive a response. Shortly afterwards I received an automated email requesting that I review the product. I wrote the singlets a 2-star review (they sent another automated email to confirm receipt of the review, and a discount code as a thank you, which was nice). But I noticed the review was never published, which seems somewhat... unethical.
