Bright Red Shoes


I have a new pair of bright red shoes !! Huzzah ! And the best thing is that they are made with 100% sweatshop free labour. The company that makes them is called "No sweat" and the shoes are made in a unionised factory in Indonesia that has all of the same worker rights that you would expect to be in place in the 21st century, crazy concepts like OH&S, sick leave, set work hours and such.. also, the workers are paid 30% above the Indonesian minimum wage. Ok, the other best thing is that they look really cool too. I know they're a rip-off of Converse All-Star, but i would prefer to buy shoes that not only look good, but that I know didn't exploit anyone when they were being made. The company makes other stuff too, T-shirts, thongs, clothes, so check it out people!
