Simple Shoes
Shoes for a happy planet
With all the over-built, over-hyped products out there, it's pretty hard to find sustainable shoes that you can live with. Then came Simple, your stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes and a big dose of reality.
About a gazillion pairs later, give or take a few, they’ve managed to learn a few things. A lot of things actually. And none more important as their mantra. “How we make our shoes is just as important as why we make them.” That means finding more sustainable ways of doing business so they can make a gazillion more.
Which pretty much is where Simple is today, at the crossroads and aware of their responsibility to the planet while trying to pay their bills. They remain the nice little shoe company getting in touch with its inner hippie. The important thing is they’re committed to making their product 100% sustainable.
The Infant's Weebit features hemp uppers with organic cotton linings recycled Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and latex elastic. The Deco piggie is made from wool felt, only the finest in sustainable duds for the little one in your life.
PET is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber. It is one of the most important raw materials used in man-made fibers. simpleshoes.com
