What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
·Organic — Same durability as conventional counterparts, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
·Canvas — Heavy-duty woven fabric that resists tearing and abrasion. Waxed canvas adds water resistance and develops character with age.
·Hand-stitching is stronger than machine stitching because each stitch is independently locked. If one stitch breaks, the rest hold — unlike chain-stitch machines where one break can unravel a seam.
·Made by Etiko Pty Ltd in Australia.

Longevity & Care

·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
·Organic — Follow care label — varies by base material.

Sustainability

·Organic — Grown without synthetic chemicals, reducing soil and water contamination. Better for farmers, ecosystems, and the people wearing the finished product.

Cost Per Use

·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
·Organic — Organic typically costs 10-30% more than conventional, but supports healthier farming practices.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Footwear). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 7 months — and falls to roughly 11¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
