LA footwear brand CLAE has unveiled a timely collection of warm-weather options that we can look to with some optimism. Offering its winning formula of high-end materials and understated designs at an affordable price point, CLAE covers the entire spectrum of footwear with more casual, sneaker-like options. Premium vegan leather alternatives are often made with fossil-fuel-based polyurethane coatings in a process that can use toxic solvents. This footwear synthetic derived from cactus (the Mexican Nopal),is mostly made of the material that comes from Nopal that grows in desert climates.
