I use Cariuma Catiba Pro 2.0 and Vans OTW Half Cab. I got my Cariuma before I knew about the controversy. I’m not so updated, and can be misinformed, and now it’s look like they are on the way to disappearing. But I have to admit that my Cariuma shoes are actually very comfortable. I do like them, but will probably stay with Vans in the future. I believe in supporting the skateboard scene (which the critics say Cariuma don’t do, and they have no background in skateboarding, but you could say that about a lot of shoe brands). It’s a lot of question marks around Cariuma, and this is probably the main reason I will not buy them again + I’m also happy with my Vans.
