OK, I know I am supposed to be posting about palm oil, like I promised in my last post. It’s coming people!
In the meantime, I just want to tell you how much I love zappos.com. What does this have to do the environment, you ask? Well I’ll tell you in a moment - hold your horses!
So I love Zappos for several reasons - they have an awesome return policy (365 days!!), free shipping & returns, and uber fast delivery. Yesterday, I ordered some shoes (4pm PST) and they arrived TODAY (at 2pm). How is that for service?
OK, so why am I posting about Zappos? Well, I just happened to buy a pair of envionmentally friendly shoes made by Simple Green Toe Shoes. These shoes are green because… (I stole this description off the Zappos website):
- Ship in Simple’s totally state-of-the-art/back-to-the-future post-consumer recycled box.
- 100% post consumer paper pulp foot forms.
- Super comfortable upper is constructed from hemp and organic cotton.
- Bamboo lining is soft and comfy.
- All natural latex pedbed covered with an organic cotton canvas for a massaging feel.
- Water based cements are employed for bringing the shoe together.
- Recycled car tire outsole provides grip and traction.
I’m totally digging these shoes - these are my first pair of “green” shoes and I highly recommend it!
Nice post!! I am a nature lover and always wear eco friendly shoes, just got a new pair from Zappos.
Given you highly recommend these shoes, I assume they’re comfortable? Are these for everyday wear outside, or are they more for wearing around the house? These really look super comfortable.
The shoes are comfortable - I wore them around all weekend, no problems. They have a men’s line BTW.
