Green Toe Is About Simple Solutions

The Green Toe line was launched by Simple Shoes back in 2005. According to Simple, “Green Toe represents our best possible effort towards making things better for the planet.” By my estimates, they’re doing pretty well. Sustainable materials used in Green Toe include organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, jute, cork, latex, wool felt, crepe, and recycled car tires. They use post-consumer recycled waste for their packaging and have won awards for their meticulous recycling practices. Green Toe has styles for Men, Women, and Kids that are funky, fresh, and made for comfort.

In addition to making incredible environmentally-aware footgear, Simple supports its local community and the earth at large in a myriad of ways. Earlier this week, Simple sponsored the Solutions For Dreamers Festival with Michael Franti and Spearhead, ALO, Culver City Dub Collective, and puppeteer Michael McAvene; the proceeds of which went to Santa Barbara’s own Heal The Ocean. Apparently being superstar eco shoemakers is just that Simple.
