At least the company checked out the place they're made in and admitted the factory was not ideal, but could be worse. But I've got my eyes on the Blackspot Unswoosher next. Vegan, union-made, hemp and recycled materials, with the look of a Converse shoe without supporting Nike. It's hard balancing all my ethical requirements, especially in footwear, but these seem to cover it. http://www.wornagain.co.uk/ http://adbusters.org/metas/corpo/blackspotshoes/info.php Right now I’m wearing Worn Again sneakers, which are 99% recycled, which is good, but made in China.
