The time has come for fashionable eco friendly shoes. Whether you are running, climbing or walking, you know that shoes really do make the outfit.
Today you are much more aware of each purchase you make and it is great to know that you can go green when it comes to fabulous footwear for all your needs. Gone are the days of boxy hemp shoes and sandals that were eco friendly and great for the earth but seriously lacked any sort of style.
Lucky for you, the choice of designs, colors and materials in green shoes has grown by leaps and bounds. Eco friendly shoes are sexy, stylish and beautiful, such as the newly popular bamboo shoes.
Shoe designers have taken eco shoes to the next level with a blend of creativity and the use of an amazing array of materials from inner tubes to hemp.
Whether you are looking for a fabulous three inch heel to go dancing in or comfortable running shoes for the entire family, you can now choose to go green with your footwear and have eco shoes for each occasion.
Besides recycled inner tubes and hemp, here are some other natural materials you will find in an eco friendly shoe:
Some people prefer to spend their money on eco friendly shoes to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle. Others are more concerned about sustainability of the planet and how the materials used in making shoes, such as leather, affects animals and the environment.
Yet others are bothered by the use of toxic materials, such as glue used in making most shoes and how those toxins are absorbed into our bodies and affect our overall health. Whatever your motive is for choosing eco friendly shoes, you are most definitely not alone.
In the past, if you were interested making an eco conscious selection in purchasing a shoe there were simply not many choices available. Simply avoiding animal based products such as leather left you with a small array of not so pretty canvas shoes. The companies and designers crafting eco friendly shoes today have demonstrated that you do not have to sacrifice style to be socially conscious.
Shoe stores around the country are catching the green wave and realizing the need to add eco friendly shoe options to their selection. If you cannot find any local stores who carry earth friendly options, make sure to ask the owner to make the change. Until then, there are wonderful online retailers offering a wide selection of eco friendly footwear.
Also, there are many more options for eco mens shoes than just a few years ago. Whether for dress, golf, athletics, etc.
Here is a list some wonderful brands creating unique, beautiful eco friendly shoes:
When it comes to choosing eco friendly shoes, we can't forget the sweet tootsies of your baby and children. Our feet actually absorb an amazing amount of chemicals. The pores on the soles of our feet are quite large and absorb amazingly well, even from the surfaces we walk on. That's why it is important to pay extra special attention to what goes on to our little one's feet. Luckily, some of the same brands that make eco friendly shoes for adults have not forgotten about little feet.
