Holy recycling Batman! Could these shoes be for real?
Being green all the way down to your toes!
Ok. So they’re not really green buildings…. but they’re green shoes!
This footwear, worn deliciously by my DJC co-worker Laura, is by Simple Shoes. And they simply seem to have everything. They’re made of recycled inner tubes and car tires, organic cotton, 100 percent post consumer paper pulp and they come in a box that was 100 percent recycled. The suede is also from an ”environmentally proactive supportive tannery,” whatever that means.
They look comfy, come in numerous colors, are stylin’ and reuse numerous materials. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the company also has vegan shoes.
Simple shoes can be bought at our local Seattle Nordstroms. Now if only Nordstrom’s could make energy efficiency cool…..
