33. The Truth About Sustainable Shoes with Steven Sashen

33. The Truth About Sustainable Shoes with Steven Sashen

In episode 33 of the Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, we are talking about shoes. This episode was actually born from a listener question! I had someone message me and ask:

“Can you do a post or an episode about shoes? Specifically tennis shoes for people who are on their feet a lot, like runners or nurses. I find that I want new shoes every 3-6 months as a nurse. Is that the normal lifetime for shoes? Can you tell me which materials are best and what might last longer or be better for the Earth?”

This is a really hard topic honestly, and there isn’t necessarily a cut-and-dry answer. Luckily, I had a chance to talk with Steven Sashen of Xero Shoes about his journey in the shoe industry and what he recommends we look for.

If you remember, Steven joined me in one of my most popular episodes, “Greenwashing in the Outdoor Industry.” He had so many great insights and the listener response has been great, which is why I’m happy to welcome him back.

For those that haven’t listened to that episode, Steven Sashen is a serial entrepreneur who has never had a job, a former professional stand up comic and award-winning screenwriter, and a competitive sprinter -- one of the fastest men over 55 in the country (maybe the fastest 55+ Jew in the world!). He and his wife, Lena Phoenix, co-founded the footwear company Xero Shoes, creating "a MOVEMENT movement" which has helped hundreds of thousands of people Live Life Feet First with happy, healthy, strong feet in addictively comfortable footwear.

3. How to Identify Sustainable Product Materials with Mary Swanson

3. How to Identify Sustainable Product Materials with Mary Swanson

In episode 3 of the Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, I will be discussing how consumers and brands can take steps to identify more sustainable product materials. This is a big topic that I felt was best discussed with an industry expert like Mary Swanson. Mary is the CEO and a co-founder of Lava Linens. Together, she, her mom, Sheila, and sister, Caitlin, create durable, luxurious adventure towels powered by flax and hemp - two of Earth's most impressive fibers. Lava Linens' aim is to be as sustainable and responsible as possible - not succumbing to the pressures of fast fashion nor to the norms of the outdoor industry while still creating high-performing, valuable pieces of outdoor gear.
