Paez Shoes

Fair trade, slip on alpargata canvas shoes, by Paez shoes from Argentina

Initially a cultural staple of the Argentine Gauchos, the origins of the alpargatas – a lightweight canvas shoe - dates back to the 1830’s. We can thank Argentina’s Paez shoes for making these comfy yet stylish shoes accessible to us here at Flechada in the coolest colors and patterns available. They are a comfortable shoe made of soft canvas and soft cotton lining, with a cushioned leather insole and EVA rubber sole for traction.

“Paez are chill, not uptight…comfortable, not pretentious. Paez supports Fair Trade…not sweat shops. Not a Foreign Imitation (like TOMS shoes – sorry, Tom). Not a fad…but a new twist on a design that goes way back. For the people…not just for the rich…but they’ll want them too. For the young…and the young at heart.”

Paez shoes are not only a symbolic staple of Argentinian style; as a business, they support fair trade, ensuring their products are manufactured under strict no-sweatshop guidelines, under proper fair trade practices with minimal environmental impact. “Up your life” with Paez shoes.
