Fashion fix: A cute summer sandal

There's a lot to love about these chic, colourful and comfortable summer shoes

Why we love them: These handmade sandals (when was the last time you saw or bought handmade, local footwear?) are both eco-friendly (the sole is made with recycled rubber) and chic, adorned with bright laces that have miniature bells. Plus, a portion of all profits goes towards supporting Kiva, a non-profit organization committed to funding loans for individuals globally. Based in Toronto, available across Canada, and with an outstretched arm that can help people anywhere, now that's a summer flat that you'll go miles in.

Where to get them: You can now shop for Feesk sandals on Esty. Feesk mata hari sandal, $50.
