Civic Duty Footwear: Conspire To Inspire

Civic Duty shoes are more than just footwear. They are inspiration with laces.

Their creator Steven Weinreb got hit hard by the 2009 economic crash and rebounded with a business model, which proves that it is possible to be successful whilst being socially, environmentally and fiscally responsible.

He also proves that eco-clothing doesn’t have to mean tie-dyed hemp or carry a hefty price tag because it’s infused with bamboo or whatever the ‘it’ fabric of the time is.

The sneakers are made of Tyvek^® , which is a durable, waterproof paper like material and can be recycled. Each year an exclusive shoe is designed with 100% of the profits donated to a social cause.

What’s even better is that they are all priced between $54 and $59 , so you can do good without breaking the bank.

Which is your favourite style?
