Simply put, Simple brand shoes have always ruled, but their ecoSNEAKS and GreenToe (Green Piggies for the kiddies) lines are so fantastic that we feel a bit guilty wearing anything else.
Simple started out as a "stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes." They claim to have learned a few things along the way, and we are inclined to believe them. They say the biggest lesson thus far is this: "HOW we make our shoes is just as important as WHY we make them."
What does that mean? It means that they are actively working towards making their shoes 100% sustainable by using a variety of eco-friendly ingredients from recycled plastics and boxes to used car and bicycle tires and inner tubes. In fact, one of the tidbits offered on their site states that if everyone in the U.S. wore a pair of ecoSneaks that 83 million tires would be kept out of landfills. That's a lot of tread.
Get your feet Simple.
