Co-op America sent out an email update last night that talked about athletic shoes and sweatshops and labor abuses. They provided a run-down of some of the big names that get products from factories with labor abuses. I expected to see Nike given their past history. Adidas's and Puma's membership in the "sweatshop labor club" disheartened me. I dig Puma shoes. A lot. And now I won't be buying them.
On the up side, Co-op America provided some alternatives that seem pretty affordable. Some other alternatives are here and here. And thankfully, the very groovy Fluevog shoes come from European Union factories with good working conditions.
