Why We Love It: Very exciting news – one of our favorite European labels, WHERE, has just landed in the US and are now selling a selection of their shoes at none other than Urban Outfitters. So, now you can finally get your hands on WHERE’s cutting edge collection of ethical footwear without incurring exorbidant import fees.
Among the three shoes featured is the most coveted and brilliant Cadi boot which solves the dilemma of the bootie vs. the full length boot. Based on a traditional equestrian riding boot the ‘tall’ version of this versatile boot features elegant stirrups and pull on tabs so you can slip the sheath over your calves. The bootie has a timeless design with brass hardware details for a edgy yet classic look. Check out WHERE’s instructional video to see how this knee high boot easily transforms into a bootie.
Not only is the Cadi versatile – two boots in one, but it is also a classice silhouette that will never go out of style. Whether the ‘it’ boot is a tall boot or a bootie, you’ve got both in a boot that transcends trends. The design of their shoes is the perfect blend of traditional shoe making workmanship and techniques with modern sensibilities and unexpected detailing resulting in a one of a kind product.
All of the materials for the boot are locally sourced from small producers using only high quality leathers for a more durable product. Each shoe is made completely by hand in India where all employees are treated fairly and receive fair wages. Whereever possible WHERE uses natural and eco-friendly materials for the products themselves and for the packaging.
