Foot Fetish


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters opt for faux leather shoes, we'll save 150,000 gal of water from being wasted during the toxic tanning process.

Cocktail Tidbit
When director Werner Herzog (Rescue Dawn) lost a bet, he had to eat a shoe, and famed veggie chef Alice Waters helped him cook it.

Does your pedi passion extend to foot fashion? Evanston's Ethical Planet will outfit you in trendy and casual footwear like breezy mary janes, cotton flips, and spot-on chucks (see photo) made with animal-friendly vegetan and renewable cork. Its vegan shoes cut down on toxic substances such as formaldehyde and cyanide-based dyes commonly used in leather tanneries; lessen water waste during the tanning process; and avert the inhumane treatment of animals in countries where leather is often sourced. And those low-top hipster kicks are just the thing for indulging in our other passion: showing off.

Wanna Try?
Ethical Planet, 1110 W. Davis St. b/t Church and Grove Sts., Evanston (847-866-2088). No Sweat Black Low Tops, $46.
