Busted Beliefs & Better Kicks with Arcadia Apparel
The footwear industry has walked a long road through centuries of cobbling, fashion trends, and tech innovations. However, despite all this progress, outdated myths continue to influence people’s buying decisions. At Arcadia Apparel, we’re not just making sneakers and boots—we’re stepping over the myths and forging a confident, conscious future for your feet.
Let’s bust five of the biggest footwear myths still kicking around today—and show you how we’re doing things differently.
Myth #1: "Expensive Shoes Are Always Better"
Truth: Price doesn’t always equal performance—or ethics.
A $500 sneaker doesn’t guarantee quality materials, fair labour practices, or long-lasting construction. You might just be paying for a celebrity endorsement or inflated branding.
At Arcadia, we invest in 100% Italian leather, small-batch craftsmanship, and ethical sourcing—without the luxury markup. Every dollar goes into the materials, mission, and movement, not a logo tax.
Myth #2: "Sustainable Shoes Can't Be Stylish or Durable"
Truth: Being eco-conscious used to mean compromising on style or strength. Not anymore.
Today’s sustainable footwear combines recycled materials, ethical practices, and modern design into something that looks good, lasts long, and has a minimal impact on the planet.
At Arcadia, we plant mangroves, restore coral reefs, and support coastal clean-ups through our partnership with Only One, while designing footwear that looks just as good on the street as it feels on your conscience.
Myth #3: "You Only Need One Pair of Shoes for Everything"
Truth: The "do-it-all" shoe is a lie. Your feet have different needs for different environments.
Wearing the same shoes for walking, hiking, working, and nightlife? That’s a fast track to discomfort and early wear and tear.
At Arcadia, we design with purpose and precision. Our athletic-grade insoles, flexible architecture, and weather-adaptive materials ensure each pair is tailored for performance, whether you’re powering through the city or coasting through nature.
Myth #4: "Footwear Trends Change Too Fast to Keep Up"
Truth: Trend churn is real, but timeless design always wins.
Fast fashion is known for its rapid turnover of styles. But superb footwear—like great storytelling—stands the test of time.
At Arcadia, we blend classic silhouettes with bold, modern elements, utilizing neutral tones, rugged edging, and durable structures. That means your kicks will still look iconic next year—and next decade.
Myth #5: "Footwear is Just Fashion, It Doesn’t Affect Your Health"
Truth: The wrong shoes can wreck your posture, joints, and energy.
Footwear plays a vital role in how you stand, move, and recover. Cheap or poorly designed shoes can lead to long-term issues, such as plantar fasciitis, knee pain, and back problems.
At Arcadia, our designs seamlessly blend style with biomechanical insight, providing your feet with the structure, cushioning, and breathability they need to thrive. Fashion meets function at every step.
Final Step: Walk the Truth, Leave the Myths Behind
The footwear industry is evolving toward conscious design, exciting tech attribution, quality over hype, and comfort without compromise. At Arcadia Apparel, we’re proud to be part of that shift. So next time you're shoe shopping, don’t get caught up in the myths.
Your feet—and your future—deserve better.
