Natural Organic Clothes does not just sell vegan clothing—it also offers vegan shoes!  These cruelty-free kicks come in a variety of styles for both men and women, including sandals, flip-flops, all-weather moccasins, and children’s shoes.

Vegan shoes are often constructed of recycled materials or naturally occurring materials such as hemp that will be biodegradable and therefore healthy for the Earth.  They are also not manufactured in any environment that would violate production standards held by the free trade movement.

Fair trade is an organized social movement and approach to commerce that intends to discourage global poverty, working with marginalized populations to further the economic empowerment of those populations.  Fair trade also advocates payment of a fair price as well as favorable social and environmental standards in depressed areas that produce the goods that are to be sold.  Exports from developing countries are the central focus of the fair trade movement, especially coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, and cotton (which makes up a large amount of the fair trade clothing available for sale).

Another goal of the fair trade movement is to encourage those they serve to achieve greater equity in international commerce by becoming more active in their own organizations.  Fair trade advocates include a variety of well-known international organizations who concentrate on religious, environmental, social and development aid such as Amnesty International and Oxfam.
