Spring is an odd time of year, isn’t it? We’re fresh out of Winter and already thinking about Summer, and the weather seems to change drastically daily. At Grounded People, our goal is to create your perfect everyday shoe for every season, so Spring meant we had to keep all these sudden shifts in weather in mind. So, we created a versatile and stylish collection that has a high top for every mood you’ll find in Spring.
Water Resistant Shoes
Spring often brings rain, puddles, and mud to navigate after the snow has thawed. Our vegan leather high-top Mika and our vegan suede high-top Oli are both water resistant, thanks to their vulcanized rubber sole (from a rubber tree!) and the use of a patented vegan leather alternative onMicro, which mirrors the natural water resistance of cowhide while staying 100% plant-based.
OnMicro is a patented microfibre developed to mirror the natural properties found in cowhide. It is 100% plant-based, breathable, and water-resistant, and it outperforms other vegan leather alternatives in durability when used in boots or shoes.
You'll love Oli or Mika if you want a high top that can handle the rainiest seasons.
Cotton Shoes
If you’re looking for ultimate breathability and comfort, Lee is a well-loved High Top that closes out our Spring collection and is perfect for those warmer-than-usual days. With an elevated vulcanized rubber sole (just like Mika and Oli), this comfortable and stylish cotton shoe can also handle the mess with Spring showers—just for smaller puddles. Best of all, our shoes come with detailed cleaning instructions so your favourite pair can bounce back from even the messiest of adventures.
Lee is also a popular choice for those looking to add flair to their athletic attire. Many customers find it the perfect shoe for extended or high-intensity workouts where you can’t sacrifice the needed support of a rubber sole but want as much breathability as possible in the shoe's upper body.
Spring Shoes That Never Sacrifice Durability
Grounded People shoes are designed with loving them for an extended period of time in mind—never for fast fashion. We build each shoe for everyday use, which means planning for durability that outpaces daily wear and tear. When you buy a Grounded People pair of shoes, you’ll never have to question the quality of the materials we use just because they’re recycled (it’s truly a win-win)!
