I’ve been trying to avoid the OAK store for a week now. It’s been hard, real hard.
But that hasn’t stopped me from clicking through the pages of new things they’re stocking online. Among my favorites are the new styles of Rubber Duck espadrilles.
Reasons why I think everyone should have at least one pair:
1. They’re a cute alternative to boat shoes, but just as comfortable.
2. They come in seven black and white patterns from stripes to psychedelic checks.
3. OAK stocks men’s and women’s styles and sizes, so you can buy a pair for a boyfriend, girlfriend or any friend, really.
4. Ten percent of the sales go back to the workers in Bangladesh and China as bonuses for making the shoes, and other portions of the proceeds go to global charities
6. Because you can never have enough pairs of flats.

They look a lot like fancy Toms, but at least Toms donate a whole pair of shoes, not just a portion.
