With the motto, "shoes for a happy planet", Simple Shoes is leading the footwear industry in a quest to create sustainable products that are both comfortable and stylish. That's why I'm excited to showcase my two favorite pairs from their current collection, which are both created with organic cotton and eco-friendly materials.
The men's Carwalk shoe (above) is made with eco-friendly wool that comes straight from the sheep’s annual haircut. The shoes also have an organic cotton fleece lining to keep your feet toasty warm. I love the "high-top" shape paired with plaid for a funky dressed-up feel.
The women's vegan Pinwheel sneaker (below) is made of hemp fiber with an organic cotton lining and laces. I love the bright stripes hidden inside and I can totally imagine them paired with jeans or a breezy spring dress. As an added bonus, the bottoms of both shoes are made using material from recycled car tires!
Did you know that Simple Shoes also makes bags? Check out my post about the Blottoe bag.
