If you are looking for ethical, comfy and on trend shoes, then Sole Rebels at Spartoo are a great choice. With a colourful range of tennis shoes, trainers and boats shoes, they are practical for people who like to get out and about and active and the perfect choice for wearing with casual outfits including shorts and jeans.

For those who love to look stylish but don’t want to compromise their ethics, Sole Rebels have a great story behind them. Their company slogan is ‘Ethiopia is running’ and they help to provide employment for people in Ethiopia. Their 40 employees benefit from being paid higher than the countries minimum wage and get the chance to utilise their skills and experience.

This company was founded in 2005 by Alemu Tilahum Bethléem and is based 2,600 metres in altitude high up in the Ethiopian plains. The designs use  traditional Ethiopian fabrics and recycled tyres. Each product is handmade and the factory uses solar energy.

We love these Classact Lace ups which have a striped panel that is right on trend for SS11 but will also look stylish for many seasons to come.

These Urban Runner shoes are the perfect colour for wearing with matching jeans or a contrasting floral dress for a really funky look.
