I understand that Cariuma is not popular with the cool kids and is another non-skater-owned invader into the skate shoe market, and I agree that their logo is terrible, and their marketing/greenwashing is lame, but can someone help me understand why they are thought to be especially evil by Slap people (apparently more so than all the other non-skate basketball/soccer/sailing shoe companies that seem to make up the majority of the market these days)?
I have yet to find a vegan skate shoe that works for me long term, and I've tried them all, so I think I'll have to try the Vallelys, but if there is some legitimate reason to especially avoid this company (beyond the usual reasons why it would be nice to be able to avoid all of these lame companies), please let me know.
