Shoes that are creating their own path in our world: Part 2

Simple Shoes

This shoe company has come along way since opening in 1991. The Simple shoes that we know and love today are not at all the same shoes from the 90’s. For about 13 years Simple was just like every other shoe company out there. But in 2004 Simple Shoes had an epiphany and decided to take on the challenge of providing eco friendly shoes to the public. They started small with 2 different styles in 2005 called their ‘Green Toe’ collection. These shoes where a hit and as soon as the ball was rolling for Simple there was no stopping it. Over the past few years Simple has produced with even more shoes that incorporate natural and sustainable materials into their products. In 2006, Simple set a new goal to become a 100% sustainable company. This was a huge step for any company, and a very exciting one at that. In 2007, they took it one step further (we didn’t think it was possible!). Simple shoes started to use recycled materials as well as products found naturally in our world. So now, old tires can gather dirt on people’s feet instead of in a dump. To learn more about Simple Shoes visit www.simpleshoes.com.
