This Earth Week, active mothers deserve the finest eco-forward, durable gear in the universe. We’ve curated several items here to help your mom run with the wolves.
Danner FP Movement Adrika Boot
A result of their collaboration with women’s progressive fitness apparel brand FP Movement, the Danner FP Movement Adrika Boot is designed for active women and inspired by both brands’ shared love for the outdoors. This limited-edition Adrika (and the Trail 2650) will make Mom’s outfit anything but ordinary. Just because it’s comfortable and built for hiking doesn’t mean it can’t be fashion-forward. www.danner.com

Crucially, Caleta is made from 97% recycled fishing nets for frames that perform as good as they make you feel while wearing them. www.costadelmar.com
