Have you ever been in love with sneakers? Do you want us to describe it to you? Well, sit back and relax and let us start by saying that sneakers need to be sidewalk-friendly, fashionable, trendy, and beautiful. But moreover, they also have to be versatile so you can wear them no matter what you feel like in the morning. Or in the evening, or while running your errands or meeting a loved one. Making you feel comfortable is their no 1 task. Luckily, this pair is closer to you than any other shoe.
Sneakers need to be comfortable. So, we found the perfect pair: the Cariuma OCA Lows. This sneaker is Ashton Kutcher’s shoe of choice and they really met our expectations and some of them were exceeded. The OCA Lows in Triple White Premium Leather are a pair that's chic and athletic but at the same time, very casual. Ideal for the office or chores, comfortable to make an outfit with, not relying too heavily on streetwear or something very posh and formal. Actually, these sneakers can go with quite everything: pleated work pants, baggy jeans, skirts, and dresses. Why? Because the style is completely unisex. Make Cariuma shoes differentiate between men’s and women’s so that you can get the excellent size that hugs your foot in just the right way. They have, efficiently, replaced all other possibilities as my new daily shoe. If you weren't a sneaker person before, you might be one now—as long as these are the sneakers you're looking for.
Putting comfort and style aside for the moment (though I'll get to that later), what initially drew my attention to these sneakers was the brand's commitment to sustainability. Cariuma, a Brazilian-based company, creates shoes that are not only of high quality but also have a low environmental impact, planting trees for buying the shoes. The OCA Lows are a classic design that will never go out of fashion, unlike bulkier sneakers, meaning that I can wear them repeatedly without worrying about replacing them when the next fashion season rolls around.
The shoes have a 100% vegan insole, made from mamona oil and cork, while the rubber used in the soles is sustainably sourced from Brazilian trees. In addition, the packaging is recycled, and shipping is carbon-neutral. Despite the fact that sustainable products are often more expensive, these sneakers are priced at under $150, with the suede and canvas options available for under $100.
Everyone raves about the comfort of Cariuma shoes, and I can confirm that it's no exaggeration. But we can't stress enough how delighted your feet will be in the OCA Lows. As a New Yorker, if you walk for miles every day, you need a shoe that can keep you up. These sneakers not only allow you to walk for miles in comfort, but they actually encourage you to do so. They are incredibly lightweight, and the cork insole feels like it conforms to the shape of my feet, making it feel like you’re walking on air or even barefoot. Compared to heavier shoes, these are a dream of lightweight soles that maintain a sturdy, long-lasting build. If you feel your feet begin to tire and cramp after a long day of errands and running around, you can be happy that you won’t be feeling that anymore.
What’s more, if you wear the OCA Low sneakers to a fashion show, they will blend in perfectly. Normally, we wouldn't even consider wearing sneakers to a stylish event like that, but with a fitted blazer and jeans, the premium all-white leather shoes are the best choice to complement any outfit. And what’s interesting is that they can also be a reason of joy, and you can wear themI on your way to the grocery store on laundry day. Because the sneakers look just as good in that casual environment.
