Timberland Boots Gives Men an Eco Option

Timberland Earthkeepers at Gap

It wouldn’t be fall back-to-school fashion season without Gap jeans staring you down on all of your shopping trips. This year, Gap redid their entire line and introduced their 1969 Premium Jeans. While the jeans aren’t made from organic cotton or in anyway green, you can catch an eco accessory in the store windows–Timberland boots.

Timberland Earthkeepers 6″ Leather Boots are the eco-friendly footwear of choice for jean-clad Gap mannequins nationwide. For guys who rock the casual jean look, Earthkeepers finish it off well. The rugged mens boots feature organic cotton laces, solvent-free adhesives, recycled rubber outsoles and recycled EVA inside along with recycled PET lining. While the leather boots are, well, made of leather, they’re not vegan or animal-friendly, but they are organically tanned.

Plus, company-wide, Timberland is an eco-conscious company. They recently opened a green store in New York City. Packaging is now made from 100% post-consumer recycled content cardboard and inks are all soy-based. So for green guys, Timberland’s boots are a nice eco-friendly option to help keep that carbon footprint low from street to trail.
