Top 100 Shoes Trends in September

From Campsite-Ready Slippers to Carbon-Negative Insoles

— October 15, 2021 — Fashion
From cushy campsite-ready slippers to carbon-negative insoles, the September 2021 shoes designs create an unlikely intersection between fashion and science by considering the environment. One of the most obvious environmentally-conscious innovations is SOLE's CO2negative insoles. This alternative to petroleum-based foams and plastics was manufactured using natural recycled cork.

Another thoughtful product comes from the Baffin CUSH Slippers. While this product is not made from recycled material, it boasts a nylon bottom that is meant to withstand daily use. The long-lasting and durable slippers reduce the likelihood of consumers purchasing fast-fashion products as it focuses on longevity and practicality. As the world becomes increasingly aware of the harm we have inflicted on our planet, it is important to make small changes to our shopping and consumption habits.
