Spring Shopping for Eco-Friendly Shoes

(Photo by Payless)
A series of sunny days has given me a powerful craving for fresh springtime shoes. Since I'm trying to control my carbon-footprint -- especially with Earth Day next week -- I decided to dig up some eco-friendly shoe choices. It turned out to be easy to find cute, environmentally responsible choices!

zoe&zac at Payless -- I'm dying for the purple zoe&zac Tigerlily Espadrille. Besides all of the shoes in the collection being super cute, you'll like:
  • Payless will contribute $1 to The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees Campaign when you buy any zoe&zac item
  • recycled rubber soles
  • organic cotton uppers
  • amazing under $30 price tag

Keds Green Label - I totally want these green kicks in black! Good things about the collection include:
  • 100% organic cotton uppers
  • dyes made with non-toxic inks
  • shoe laces made from 100% water bottles
  • eyelets are nickel-free and the insoles are recycled

For years I've been into Simple for eco-friendly shoes, even though some of their styles have run to a sort of, um, more earth mother aesthetic than I usually wear. Lately they've come up with some more fashion forward looks, like the women's Teetoe in organic cotton, a rocking gladiator sandal. It also comes in a preppy-cute striped silk that screams summer at the beach.

So many fun shoes! Now I just need to take a quick trip to Goodwill to drop off last spring's impulse buys to make some room for all of my new shoes!
