But what’s all the fuss about, you might be wondering, and how did VEJA end up where they are today? The brand has actually focused on making stylish, sustainable sneakers now for about two decades, long before sustainability became a buzzword in the fashion space, and they do so working with ethical factories in Brazil.

Oh, and as to the sustainable specs behind the VEJA Campo Sneakers, which could quickly become your new favorite sneakers? They’re made with Fair Trade-certified rubber, for starters, and they also use wild rubber for the comfortable, springy insole of the VEJA Campo Sneakers, which use the classic low-profile silhouette of court sneakers.

Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers

It’s not my first time talking about these rugged hiking sneakers here on the blog, so consider this a bit of a reminder, too: They’re part of Huckberry’s Bestsellers for a reason, with retro appeal, modern functionality and a dash of outdoor-centric style thrown in, to boot.

There’s a low-profile design in a mix of throwback color options, all positioned nicely atop a thick treaded rubber outsole: They’re truly hybrid sneakers, with a super-lightweight feel and yet trail-ready traction and durability.

Plus, the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers boast a breathable mesh upper for comfort in the heat, while they’ve also got substantially less drop in terms of the heel and shoe design (4mm versus a more typical 12mm drop). What does that mean for you? It means a more natural, comfortable stride and an increased ability to navigate rocky terrain without missing a beat.

And for good measure, the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers are quite affordable as far as hiking sneakers are concerned: They’ll run you $140 at Huckberry, a fair cost among the rest of the lineup of Huckberry’s Bestsellers.
