Shoes to Reduce Your Environmental Footprint

Proof that you can still be eco-friendly without looking like a free spirit, this French footwear label make on-trend sneakers all while keeping their environmental impact as low as possible. You’ll find sneakers featuring fabric made from recycled plastic bottles, organically grown cotton, and naturally sourced rubber. While they do use leather in their designs, they ensure it is properly sourced and tightly control production so that no extra stock is produced.

Going beyond the TOMS One For One mission, the company has integrated sustainable and responsible practices in every aspect of their business. This includes using sustainable and vegan materials, like hemp, organic cotton and recycled polyester, to make their shoes, as well as packaging their products in boxes made from 80% recycled post-consumer.

Sweet-smelling and 100% recyclable, Melissa shoes bring a playful aspect to the eco-friendly fashion scene. The bubblegum-scented jellies are made in eco-conscious Brazilian factories from the brand’s own non-toxic Melflex plastic, and use minimal amounts of water in the production process.
