Ditch heavy hiking boots and narrow toe boxes for a much comfier ride for your feet.

Summer is here, son! And you know what that means! Sun’s out guns out! But also, you know, sunglasses. Because when you spend a lot of time outside you’ve got to protect those delicate peepers. Especially if you’re like me and you have wimpy blue eyes that shriek for shade in even bright-ish overcast conditions. But not all sunglasses are created equal. Trust us. We’ve learned this from decades of stocking up on inferior pairs. So ditch the cheap drugstore shades or even quality sunglasses made of non eco-friendly materials. Get a pair of one of these amazingly sustainable sunglasses instead.
