Welcome summertime with these cool eco-friendly shoes!
by Trixie Reyna, Managing EditorThe sun’s rays are brighter than ever and the air has quickly turned from cool to warm. There’s no denying it, folks, summer is upon us!
You know what that means: it’s time to bring out your shorts, mini skirts, and light-weight, laid-back tops and dresses. And while flip-flops will always be summer footwear staple, it’s time you added something different to your wardrobe. Why not get one from Simple Shoes’ Spring/Summer 2009 Collection?
Simple Shoes adds more colorful and feminine designs to its lineup, which all go well with your summer wardrobe. Strut along the beach, troop out of town, or chill in the office in these shoes, and feel even better that you are actually helping the environment just by wearing them!
They have added new sustainable and eco-friendly materials into their product lines. One of them is silk, a natural protein fiber that comes from silk worms and is woven into fabric which keeps your feet cool when it’s warm, warm when it’s cool. They also look really pretty, and are featured in colorful solids, stripes, and gingham prints on styles ranging from slides and peep-toes to sporty sneakers.
P3,195 (with silk uppers)
Another new featured material is carpet padding, made from recycled foam factories collected, which are turned into padding for some of Simple’s shoes. The material is durable, squishy, and made entirely from scrap and post-consumer materials. It’s like you’re walking on soft carpet all the time!
And who said that shoes made out of recycled materials can’t look fashionable? These styles can soften even the most hard-core fashionista. There are styles for men, too!
P2,695 (with silk uppers; also comes in red and dark earth)

Too expensive, too cheap-looking.

this looks too expensive for something that could be bought for less than 1000 pesos.

Simple Shoes are kinda nice actually, its worth every peso because of what it stands for and what it is trying to do.
If all the shoe brands out there take the lead of Simple, the earth will be a better place!

i just want to share that i got my simple last christmas and i love it:) whenever i see it, it makes me think of what other stuff i can do to help the environment. it’s like a nice reminder:) there’s really so much waste. i have 3 trash bins now in our house for paper trash, food trash and plastics. the kids are into the recycling thing and we have made it a family thing:)
