Now that Converse (who used to be reasonably OK, in terms of working conditions etc) have been bought out by Nike (who are emphatically not), where are liberal types to go for their ethical trainers?
No Sweat Apparel, that's where. Specifically, their nice trainers are here. Unfortunately it's only the US side of things that carries them currently (though No Sweat UK has nice Tshirts & whatnot available), but they only charge $5 shipping to the UK. Giving you a grand total of $40 for a nice union-made pair of trainers (info on wages/benefits paid to workers on the shoe link above if you're interested).
We've also contacted them and apparently they are planning to expand the range in the future, to include high-tops & different colours, because sales are going pretty well. Hurrah. Go buy shoes!
Right, must get dressed & sod off to Whitby now. Have a good weekend...
