I was checking out Zappos.com today (a frequent stop for me) and found a category called "Eco-friendly Shoes". Since I love shoes and I am always trying to find (easy) ways to be eco-friendly I thought I would check them out. I'm sorry to say that I didn't find a lot of cuteness but there were a few that I wouldn't mind on my feet and I'd have that warm fuzzy environmentally friendly feeling in my heart to boot. (pun intended)
I seem to have found a favorite brand in the Eco-friendly section:
Jambu Planet
Jambu Taurus
Jambu Melon
Jambu Odessey
What makes these eco-friendly?
- Non-marking, partially recycled compressed rubber outsole.
- Using only 100% recycled, recyclable and re-usable packaging, Jambu™ hopes to contribute to the preservation of our great outdoors for future generations.
Next up, J41
Blossom
Jasper
Claim to fame: Non-marking and partially recycled eco-friendly, compressed rubber outsole.
Cute, dressy, and responsible!
Chaco Wrapsody
The EcoTread outsole is made from 25% recycled rubber, minimizing the impact on the environment. Makes me want to go to the beach.
Atwood by Naya
I actually had these in my cart way before I saw them in the Eco-friendly section where I found them again so now I have two pairs of these in my cart, a black pair and this neutral color. It must be love. I might have to buy these, though I probably couldn't walk in them. They make me and the earth happy with their
Biodegradable latex foam within the footbed providing cushioning bliss, and bamboo heel with recycled cork outsole offering amazing traction.
One last pair...I would never wear these out of the house (don't hold me to that, though.) I love Mickey but $123 is pretty ridiculous.
Birki's Dorian
Anatomically correct cork/latex footbed, crafted from cork that is 100% renewable and sustainable, encourages foot health.
There you have it. More reasons to shop and be environmentally mindful too! Which shall I buy first?
