Grounded People Apparel Inc. announced the release of its first-ever cruelty-free leather and suede shoes, as well as the return of its all-time best seller the Lee. Grounded People's newly released designs for their ethical shoe collection include the Oli, a stunning grey cruelty-free suede that will turn heads, while the Mika features a sleek cruelty-free white leather and an outsole made from all-natural gum. And if that wasn't enough, the iconic Lee shoe is back by popular demand which is made from 100% recycled cotton and rubber from rubber trees.

All three shoes are available for purchase on groundedpeople.com. The vegan leather and suede fabrics used in the Oli and Mika shoes come from Grupo Moron a leader in innovative textile technology. The breathable and waterproof onMicro microfibre fabric is sustainable in design helping to reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of the production process.

Each shoe box features a Q.R. code that traces the origins of the fabric and materials used in the manufacturing process, and the boxes are also made from recycled materials. The Lee, Oli, and Mika shoes are now available on the Grounded People website and Amazon for $189. Grounded People will continue to explore sustainable and ethical fashion alternatives as it works towards a more sustainable future.
