No Sweat
My shoes from No Sweat Apparel came in the mail today.
The good news: They're as attractive and comfortable as any pair of Chucks I've ever worn and appear to be two-ply canvas in the original Chuck Taylor All Star tradition rather than one-ply, as Chucks have become under Nike. Also, I know they were made in a union shop with fair wages and working conditions rather than a sweat shop.
The bad news: Wearing a pair of shoes that are advertised in its packaging as "100% Vegan" is making me feel a bit like a hippie. I hate hippies.
Still...they are pretty spiffy.

You know who wears suits and sneakers, don't you? Ellen DeGenerous.
I think that makes you a lesbian.

Well, she did land that hot chick from Arrested Development. So I don't mind the comparison.
She is a better dancer, though...

It's not cheap to have a clear conscience...
