Reign of Terra

Terra Plana Shoes

A goody two-shoes’s life can be unrewarding.

Like the time you got a lump of coal for Christmas after you spilled the beans to your auditor boyfriend about your brother’s tax-evasion scheme.

It might be harder for people to stay mad if they caught a glimpse of you in a new pair of Terra Plana shoes. Made in Great Britain, the environmentally friendly footwear is crafted using only natural materials and as few glues and toxins as possible.

The best styles include Jana, a slouchy knit boot with vegetable-tanned leather straps and a clunky clog sole, and Aveiro, a modern-day Mary Jane with sweet stitching and quilt detailing on the toe.

The entire line is distinctly cutting edge — with a tip of the hat to old-world design. Which makes them perfect for sitting, walking, or even running from your foes.

You know — next time the other shoe drops.
