With the promise of warmer days on the horizon, as well as travel plans to tropical climes, my toes are itching for the freedom of a pair of flip-flops.
A few weeks ago at Seattle’s Green Fest, I came across THE ULTIMATE pair – a green traveler’s dream!
Simple shoes, who started out back in the day outfitting the feet of the skateboarding crowd, has recently turned their attention towards reducing the ecological footprint left by their shoes. As a result, pretty much their entire line is now made from a host of sustainable materials like hemp, recycled car tires, bamboo, jute, wool felt, cork and crepe.
The current object of my desires is Simple’s Women’s Toe Foo flip-flop. # These cute flip-flops are made of hemp and organic cotton, lined with bamboo and havea natural crepe outsole. Simple uses water-based cements to put the works together and even ships them out to you in a biodegradable bag.
Be sure to check out the entire Simple Green Toe line and explore Simple’s Greentoe-ology, which walks you through the innovative processes they are using to bring nature to your feet.
Now where’s my stimulus check?!
