I totally agree. Personally, I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing my Chaco's unless I was at the beach/hiking (which is when this pic was taken- that's actually my hiking outfit- which I think is pretty fun for hitting the trail in. Stopped in Montpelier, VT to get a drink and my friend snapped this pic. What you can't see here is the huge gash I got on my right calf from climbing granite that day). After I saw the picture I had the great editors at EarthFirst change it up. As much as I love hiking/snowboarding/trailrunning, that's NOT how I dress all the time! Not only do I run Eco Chick, but I'm the style editor at Plenty Mag, and I love dressing up and specialize in colorful ecofashions for my everyday attire (and pretty much ALWAYS heels 'cause I love 'em). I too want to get as far away from ecofashion being thought of as crunchy and unattractive. There's so much great, well-designed stuff out there! Lori,

Wearing shoes bought at REI (Chaco brand sandals worn in picture) does NOTHING to further the cause of eco-fashion and does everything reinforce the granola-girl, "outdoorsy" image. If she wants to be green, where are the vintage pumps? Either walk the talk in decent shoes or shut up. The last thing I need as an eco-boutique owner is more images of "green queens" in ugly f*ing shoes.
