Since I researched ethical shoe brands earlier this year I’ve been itching to try a pair of Nisolo shoes. I don’t have many shoes, and I try to only have one type of shoe for each purpose: everyday wear, exercise, formal occasions, house chores, etc.
What I was missing was a pair of Chelsea Boots, which have been floating around my Pinterest boards for years. A Chelsea boot is an ideal everyday shoe that has style, comfort, function, and—important to me—quality, ethically sourced materials. Nisolo seemed like the perfect combination of everything I wanted in a shoe brand, and I jumped at the chance to test out a pair of their boots.
Nisolo is an ethical and sustainable brand with a chic collection of shoes and accessories based in Nashville, TN. Its shoes are classic and timeless, made from ethically sourced materials. Nisolo’s website includes loads of information about transparent sourcing and wage information, including how it determines what to pay workers in factories.
