Hi all,
So the shoes I know I can wear (yes, it's a limited list):
Uggs
Kamik
PO-ZU --> these are amazing! Plus, if you're vegan, than they have a lot of those options
Gabor
Birkenstock
That's all I know. Don't trust any other mass-produced athletic shoe. Even ones where a company has verified for me, I have had problems because most of them are made in places where the company doesn't actually see what's going in their shoes (the joys of globalization and the exploitation of cheap capital).
The shoes in the above list will cost you a pretty penny, but they are well worth it. They hold up well, are comfortable, and are well-made. I've owned a couple of pairs of my Gabors for five years and I wear them a lot.
