Eco sandals put the power of tires under your feet.
Eco sandals are a nice outcome of old worn tires. I much rather see a pair of jazzy sandals than a pile of dirty tires any day. There is a whole trend of eco friendly sandal makers now and they are keeping tires out of landfills. I particularly like the story of EcoSandals.com. This company is a not for profit co-op that is helping poverty stricken individuals in a polluted city in Kenya. They citizens are turning trash into something of value and helping themselves at the same time. These sandals run from $34 - $44 and come in a range of colors and styles. With tire soles, you can be sure these sandals are durable and will last you a long time. In addition to tires, eco friendly sandals can also be made from recycled jeans, hemp, bamboo, paper pulp, natural latex and cork to name a few materials. GreatGreenGoods.com has a wonderful run down of their top ten recycled sandals. Prices on their list range from $25 to $125. If you are looking for a sexier sandal, try these sandals by Melissa. They are vegan and made from environmentally safe materials. They range from $59 to $119.
