cool but not as comfy
I love these boots for their cool, casual look, anti-corporate company (folks behind Adbusters) and that they are manufactured from 100% organic hemp and recycled tire soles! They are made in Europe (union shop), designed by Fluevog and produced by Vegetarian Shoes. They are perhaps the most earth-friendly shoes, except that they don't seem as foot friendly. They are the slightest bit uncomfortable, as Tim said below maybe it takes more time to break them in. I guess I should wear them more, but ouch, Adbusters please soften the insides up a bit will ya?

I'd love to try these!
As soon as I find a pair at Biofuel Oasis or at a local shoe shop. They are pricey, like Adbusters magazine (which is awesome) or organic food, but their value is more than the money paid.
Will come back and update my review after I've worn some... so bookmark my review, or add it to your RSS feed whenever SustainLane adds that feature :P

Soled
Great company with excellent ethics; aims to take the corporate out of footwear industry. No-sweat made and effectively marketed as anti-corporate, the company itself is great, but especially initially I found the shoes are a bit tough to break in.
