The durability is probably better than chemically rubberized glue shoes cause some glues just crack over the years, and there woven ones wont breaak unless the leather breaks/rips.. julia,

I never even thought about eco-friendly shoes, but it makes sense. With a 100% biodegradable cork sole does it affect the quality and durability of the shoe? Those shoes are badass!

This includes everything from maufacturing, materials, assembly, distribution, marketing, etc an it only cost that much if you can afford to sell that much.

Nike get the hit on sweatshops, but their standards are pretty good compared to many other sweatshops..how do i know, i have friends that work in them, specifically nike. Swap places with nike...if you decided to maufacture in say the USA, the price would go up 10 x, your shoes would cost 10x, and less people would buy them. it's a hard tradeoff, but jumping in somone elses shoes gives you a better perspective of what sucks, but must be done. sweatshop yes, but what theses days are not made in sweatshops.
