Daily Greenz #168

The official shoe of summer? Sandals, sandals, sandals. This time around, fashion seems to dictate that the more straps on your sandal, the better - gladiator styles are more stylish than ever.

So why not take part as a green gladiator? The Alkali sandal from Patagonia has enough straps to keep you hip, enough detailing to make a statement, and enough green elements to fit your eco-conscious lifestyle;  both the midsole and the rubber sole are made of partially recycled materials. So the impact you make is not only a stylish one, but also an eco-conscious one. And bonus - they’re so comfy you can wear them anywhere and everyone.

Based on a simple mission to create 100% sustainable shoes, Simple Shoes offers an irresistible line of fun, earthy footwear that will make your feet itch to try them on.  In particular, we’re eyeing the Toepaz, whose comfortable, slip-on design will go with virtually everything and, best of all, is completely vegan/veggie-friendly and devoid of any animal byproducts.  If we break it down, its organic cotton canvas cover is lined with bamboo and attached to the recycled outsole (made of car tires) with water-based glues.  Did we mention that it has a natural latex pedbed and 100% post-consumer paper pulp foot forms?  Our feet are sighing with relief already.  Spruce up your wardrobe for $75 at www.simpleshoes.com.
