Check out the new shoes!
Dave sent me a great link with information about solutions to some of the current environmental issues. I was looking at the tire recycling solution available, which is genius. Then I got to thinking what other things are going on that I can contribute to involving recycled tire rubber.
I stumbled into this company called Simple Shoes, making shoes out of materials like recycled tires, recycled plastic, organic cotton and hemp. As I read about the materials they used, business practices, and their factory charter, I realized I could feel good about the materials and the labor put into these shoes. All around, I was inspired by this company.
While this company is amazing in the simple concepts, their shoes still look pretty cool. What about price? Yes, they are just a little bit more expensive than I would normally pay at local (chain) store, but honestly I can’t say it is that much more. Not only that, but shipping is free. So once I get the new shoes in a few weeks, if you see me around check out the soles.
