These shoes are definitely something special. They are based on designs from Argentina and are light yet comfortable, but what makes these shoes so special is that for every pair TOMS sold the company will donate another pair to children in need!

Shoes are a delicate matter when it comes to being eco friendly. As there are numerous components that go into producing a shoe, making it difficult for customers to know what the pair of shoes that they are looking at is made from.
3
However, there are some makers who go out of their way to make sure that the entire shoe is totally eco friendly. This is really hard to do, so in fact there may be a limited amount of chemicals within the makeup of

Hemp is a great fiber for Summer as it is durable and absorbs twice as much moisture, as cotton. There are a variety of goods made with hemp, including clothes, food, jewelry, and yes even shoes.
I found a sexy pair of Mens Hemp Sandals by the Rainbow brand, at Amazon. These are in the style of flip flops, and come in several color choices.
There is still plenty of Summertime left, plus these hemp sandals are currently on sale. They retail for a

The company behind these sports shoes have been supporting the “Free Tibet” campaign for some time now, so it is only expected that they should try to bring the subject now with these special edition shoes.

Twenty per cent of the sale will go to the Free Tibet Campaign, which is a good gesture to make. Although I would like to offer the wearer some friendly advice, please do not wear these is you are planning on going to the Olympic Games

There is no doubt that Project Catwalk is a brilliant success on both sides of the Atlantic, but on some occasions there is not much eco friendly designing going on there, which is shame as this would make for a better show.
Thankfully, the producers have thought about this and an Eco Friendly Edition of Project Catwalk is in the making for Bravo. To make it even more interesting that famous eco fashion icon Natalie Portman will be one of the gu

In NYC, a new line of vegan shoes from a young innovative designer named Gina Ferraraccio is launching.
photo credit - [breathe design]
Gina, a Washington DC native, set out to create a line of cruelty free and environmentally friendly shoes that are comtemporary, fresh and stylish. I would say she has reached her goal with her new line called Cri-De-Coeur.
Each shoe is hand made in a Portugal factory using only all natural materials that includ

This shoe has been quoted as being the Ultimate travel shoe, it’s a lightweight shoe that will fold down to being virtually flat, but when you need it to wear it will spring right back into the ready to wear position. These shoes are available at Love Those Shoes and would normally cost around $160, but at the moment there is sale on and they are only asking $80 for them!

This could be described as being green on the green, which is exactly what the Hi-Tec want you to think and in actual fact is more or less exactly what it is a green golfing shoe. Obviously when it comes down to how the shoes are made or what they are made of, anyway the details are below.

When we see all of those famous actors and beautiful people, promoting their green awareness and in some cases their eco friendly life styles. Many of us tend to take notice, but being a celebrity means that they have certain advantages over other people.
Take the actor Woody Harrelson, we all know that he takes green issues very seriously indeed, so much so that when he travelled to the Cannes Film Festival in France, he some how forgot that he

Ask around on what the latest footwear craze is running around and you will perhaps stumble upon the familiar term of Flip Flops. Normally, you would think that it is a toy or something to do with food. But in reality, it is really a line of fashion in the footwear biz where most people in the world are going crazy about.
Patagonia, a known name in hiking shoes has focused on their ergonomic flip flops which are made of recycled nylon and cork.

The whole month may, people in the UK will be able to recycle their old shoes. Shoes are one of the worst items of clothing to recycle as many places will not take them to sell on for one reason or another. But this idea from Terra Plana is simply fantastic.
Just take an old or unwanted pair of shoes into the participating branches, it makes not difference what the make or design is and you will get a £10 ($20) discount, it doesn’t get better

The Dr Scholls brand is known the world over for creating comfortable shoes, and now they will be known for eco friendly footwear as well. They have recently come out with Renew, a green sandal.
What makes the groovy sandal green? It is made using sustainable wood, has a hemp canvas strap, and uses recycled metal for its buckle. This style of clog sandals usually don’t look comfortable, but surprisingly they are. I like the white strap,

I found a gem of a slipon from Old Navy, new patterned canvas styles for Men. These are really hot.
Old Navy always has the cutest stuff, the merchandise turns over quickly, and their prices are just right. The patterned canvas slip ons i discovered come in a variety of styles including: grey stripe, plaid 1, gray fog, and plaid 2.
I love these, i wish they came in womens styles, i would snatch up a few for myself. Too cute. If you’

I loved Natalie Portman in Garden State, the indie flick starring Zack Braff. As you may (or may not know) Natalie is a vegan, and has been since childhood. Which explains her recent move of endorsing a vegan shoe line to be sold at Te Casan in New York.

The vegan shoes are high end (which translates to pricey) but they are gorgeous and no animal materials are used in the construction of the shoe. The shoe line consists of

These shoes are really nice, but when you find out that these shoes have been partly made from old car tires, which is a good thing as tires are really hard to get rid of when they have been worn out.

Nubby cotton upper
Bamboo linings
Wooden button
Removable natural laytex pedbed with a cotton canvas cover
Natural crepe rubber midsole

Now there is probably no shoe in the world that is as green as these shoes.
Why? It has something to do with the fact that they are completely covered in bird seed; yes that is what I said. The reason behind this is that you can go out into the yard or down the park and just be quiet and relax, within minutes you we be joined by some little feathered friends.

I found this sexy pair of mens vegan shoes, named Dennis Brown, from New York vegan shoe retailer Moo Shoes.
These are made of faux-suede in brown or faux-leather in black. Have you a greenie (or vegan) in your life? These make for a sweet fall gift or even dare i say it, X-Mas gift. Gasp! Is it kind of early for that? Not really.
See the Dennis Brown in action over at MooShoes.

Moo Shoes has these cute new vegan boots out, long and loose, these go really well with pants or a skirt. They are vegan, so they contain no leather materials. These come in darker fall colors and are completely eco-friendly.

For fans of shoes by Keen this bag should be flying out of the doors of the stores, even for people who have not even heard of Keen before.
But for eco savvy people they would soon realise that these bags are made from the recycled remnants from the shoe making process.
Not much detail regarding prices, but can be bought in certain stockists.
