Run Star Hike High Top Sneaker

Cariuma sneakers just make you feel good. Not only are they super light and flexible on your foot (no more “breaking in” periods), each shoe is crafted from self-regenerating bamboo and recycled plastics, so you know you’re doing your part to help the environment.
The Sneaker
Call me childish but the easy, one-and-done slip-on sneaker is a lazy girl’s dream, and Rothy just about makes the dreamiest ones on the market. Plus, it’s made with machine-washable fabric for easy cleaning.
