Wear sustainable shoes with Eco Sneaks

Looking to make a difference with your feet?

A company called Simple Shoes has developed the Eco Sneak, a sustainable pair of sneakers that "uses materials like recycled car tires, certified organic cotton, PET (think recycled plastic bottles), recycled bike tires, and hemp."

Simple Shoes uses the shoe box to make a statement, as well:

The box is made from 100% post consumer recycled paper and printed with soy-based inks. The shoes have foot forms made from 100% post consumer paper pulp inside them when they arrive in the box. This is the only other packaging that comes with the shoes. No plastic, no excess paper stuffed inside the shoes, nothing.

A new pair of Eco Sneaks will set you back $55-70.
