If there’s one indication that a product has reached cult status, it’s a waitlist in the thousands. Cariuma, the stylish and sustainable sneakers beloved by Well+Good staffers and celebs, has that covered.

The company is a certified B-Corporation, which means that it meets the standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. They’re also incredibly supportive and beloved for being comfortable right out of the box, no break-in period required.

The Cariuma OCA Lows are the epitome of an everyday sneaker. Made out of pebbled leather from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries, the pair is soft and stylish. They have well-cushioned insoles and padded collars, and best of all, no break-in period. It’s no wonder why the shoes have the stamp of approval from a slew of A-list celebrities like Dame Helen Mirren, Gabrielle Union, and Pete Davidson.
The Salvas are a fan favorite, too. Crafted from LWG-certified leather, these sneakers strike the perfect balance between style and versatility, effortlessly complementing any outfit with a dash of understated flair. With Cariuma’s signature logo subtly placed on each side, the Salvas come in over a dozen color options, including a stunning floral print. What sets these shoes apart, though, is their durability—making them a go-to for everything from daily errands to long city strolls. And with prices ranging from $129 to $159, they’re surprisingly accessible for a pair of premium leather sneakers.
Trust us—the hype around the OCA Lows and Salvas is well-deserved. Even better, Cariuma currently has most sizes and colors in stock—but they won’t last long. Skip the impending waitlist and snag a pair before they’re gone again! Buy yours here.
