Keds and Loomstate have come together to bring you some great new kicks in fun new patterns. If you’re a fan of Loomstate designers Rogan Gregory and Scott Hahn you may recognize some of their signature prints. In true 80s style, the shoes are lace-free and come in five different women’s designs with lots of colors to choose from.
The shoes are made from 100 percent organic canvas, 100 percent recycled insole board, with a gum rubber sole. But the designers didn’t stop there with their eco-friendly efforts, the packaging is minimal, too. While most new shoes are stuffed with and surrounded by tissue, these Keds are tissue free and come in reused, recycled shoe boxes. Click here to read more

Need an excuse to buy a new pair of shoes? We’ll give you several reasons to add Rocket Dog’s Planet Pup Organic Cotton Wedges to your collection.
First of all, these eco-chic sandals are right in line with the mainstream fashion trends, too. Florals are huge this season and the trend tops off these peep-toes gorgeously. Plus, the straw-covered wedge heel plays to the cork trend that’s gaining momentum this season in the sandal world.
Now, for the eco-friendly fashion points. These sandals from Rocket Dog’s Eco Luv line have sustainable features, too. The main part of the shoe is made from organic cotton, the insole board is recycled, the sole is made from recycled EVA rubber and it’s all held together with more eco-friendly water-based glue. Even the button at the heel is eco-friendly as it’s made from coconut palm.
