I'll be sad to part with these one-of-a-kind, witchy, artsy shoes. I don't even want to think of that day! I got so many compliments on them. I'm only selling these architectural, asymmetric/asymmetrical Cydwoqs because I'm vegan. As far as leather shoes go, Cydwoqs are the most sustainable and ergonomic brand because they're: 1. Tanned with vegetable dyes, which are less-toxic than traditional dyes. 2. Repairable with less-toxic glue, such as for the outer soles, if you mail or bring them to Cydwoq.com/pages/repairs in LA, CA. I've also brought them to my local cobbler to get a stronger elastic. You can do that to fix the elastic in the photo where my finger is. 3. Hard soled shoes are better for your feet, according to podiatrists that sell more affordable and orthotic out-of-the-box insoles after they see your feet, ontherunshoes.com. If you want its unused Cydwoq bag when you buy it, tell me. My home is pet- and smoke-free. Feel good with my zero waste, recycled packaging with no tissue paper, etc. (and firm prices :)
