Adorable (and Affordable) Green Kids’ Shoes

First up, have you seen Simple Shoes? They even have those adorable soft slippers for early walkers that everyone else makes in leather. Depending on which style you choose, they might be made with hemp uppers, certified organic cotton linings, recycled PET and latex elastic, outsoles made of recycled inner tubes, and packed with 100% post-consumer paper pulp foot forms inside a post-consumer recycled box that looks like a truck. That pair will set you back $30, which is actually extremely reasonable in the world of kids’ shoes. Why are the teeny-tiny well-made things with leather uppers so insanely expensive? They cost as much if not more than adult shoes! Speaking of, as long as you’re ordering Simple, check out the shoes for moms and dads. Cute stuff, and they have excellent sales.
