-How it began.
A young guy from laguna beach, started the company a few years back. he was living in shanghai at the time, and outside his little brick lane house, migrant workers would spend their days digging and paving away. they became friends, and styles were swapped over street food and cold beer. the worker shoes became a staple on this young guy's feet, literally taking him around the world. as the months went on, friends started asking him where the shoes came from, and where they could get them. . . from humble beginnings and good intentions, The People's Shoe was born.
-Workers Conditions
we spend a lot of time at the factory, not only checking the quality of the shoes, but checking the quality of the workplace. this way we can ensure that all workers get paid a living wage, that the work bathrooms are clean and available, that the work stations are well-lit, and that everyone working is above the minimum legal age.
-Caring for the World.
we avoid using polybags (those little plastic bags that clog our ocean) during each step of the process. we package our shoes in reusable totes, instead of in cardboard boxes. the idea being to throw less away and reuse more. our office is paperless, and our staff commute via bicycle.
-Giving back.
each year, we donate a percentage of our profit to an organization that directly helps the people. in 2009, we're bringing it close to home. we're teaming up with the LA Mission, a non-profit serving the homeless living on the streets of downtown LA's Skid Row. we're setting our sights high: donating money, sneakers, and planning an event to get the word out.
