Over the past couple of years, sustainability has woven itself into nearly every aspect of our lives. From making plastic-free swaps in our beauty routines to investing in reusable straws and sandwich bags, creating earth-friendly, sustainable habits no longer seems niche — it’s the new norm.

You may be in the market for upgrading your exercise shoes if you’re doing intense cardio workout videos from your living room, or you’re lucky enough to have a treadmill at home, so we’ve rounded up the best consciously-made sneakers that don’t sacrifice performance for eco-friendliness.

From innovative designs from dominant activewear brands like Adidas and Nike, to brands like Veja and Allbirds that were founded as sustainable alternatives to the traditional options, here are the best sustainable sneakers to shop now.
