Tires and Milk Jugs and Hemp... Oh My! ECOSNEAKS have arrived.
Shoes are personal. They not only protect your feet to get you to and from, but more importantly they help portray your personal style and at times can make a statement all on their own. I'm not going to lie, I participated in the jelly shoe trend and rocked heels of oh so many inches that at times I questioned my own sanity and love of fashion.
But there are some new shoes in town that speak all for themselves. Not your typical Birkenstocks of hippy days gone by, we are talking hip Ecosneaks from a nice little shoe company called Simple. The shoes are anti-stereotype and offer a big dose of reality. Using sustainable materials such as hemp uppers, recycled tires for the shoe bottoms (!!), organic cotton linings, and recycled plastic bottles (PET) shoe laces and foot beds, Simple has completely re-thought how shoes can be made. Think about it... taking the old and making it new.
These shoes are stylish and not to mention WAY more comfortable then pretty much every shoe I own. I feel good about doing good for the planet and love supporting a company that is leading the industry in sustainable innovation of footwear design and manufacturing since 2005.
So, check out simpleshoes.com (we are thrilled they have created some very special StopGlobalWarming.org Ecosneaks!) and take the stylish sustainable message to the streets. Our planet and your feet will thank you!
