Oliberte Men's Gando Boot

Sometimes, the story behind a product transform a solid buy into a mindful purchase.  Gando, featuring premium leather uppers, is a stunning example of intentional manufacturing focused on ground-up social impact.  The first-ever, Fair-Trade Certified footwear maker, Oliberte continues to emerge as source for economic good as well as style excellence.  As with others in the Guide, Gando lands solidly with crepe rubber outsoles to garner Active Junky plaudits for traction.  While over-the-ankle is not everyone’s look, testers laced up proudly – and comfortably – thanks to a goat leather lining.  Vegetable tanning further ensures a better future for the planet. One rugged pair at a time.
