Wearing shoes made of recycled materials has never looked this good.
Environmental awareness and use of sustainable materials is slowly but surely infiltrating the world of fashion and beauty. First, there was a store for sustainable living. This time, eco-friendly footwear made entirely of sustainable materials is introduced by Simple Shoes.
But first, a definition of terms: Sustainable means capable of being continued with minimal long-term effect on the environment. By using sustainable materials like used car tires (that would otherwise have ended up in landfills) for its outsoles, Simple tries to reduce the ecological footprint left when making shoes and bags.
“How we make our shoes is just as important as why we make them” is its company philosophy, which is why a pair of Simple Shoes is a purchase you just might feel good about. There are over twenty Simple ingredients (natural and sustainable materials) used in making their shoes and bags, which include recycled PET (old plastic bottles), cork, wool felt, recycled car tires, water based glue, jute, crepe, and bamboo.
