It’s also great when you can find fabulous shoes that also give back to a great cause. Right now through October 17th, Simple Shoes is teaming up with the Eden Reforestation Projects to assist Africans in planting trees in their countries and restoring devastated environments for the future.
For every new email subscriber that they receive through October 17th, Simple Shoes will donate 10 trees to this worthy organization to be planted in African countries. You don’t even have to buy anything the help out! Just sign up on the Simple Shoes website.
In case you don’t know about Simple Shoes, they are an eco-friendly footwear brand dedicated to sustainability and greening our planet. Simple shoes and bags for men, women, and children are made with natural and recycled materials like certified organic cotton, hemp, recycled car tires, jute, recycled carpet padding, beeswax, and coconut.

These casual purple suede sneakers are one of my favorite pairs from Simple Shoes. The suede is made from an eco-certified tannery, the lining is organic cotton and the bottom of the shoe is made with recycled car tires. The cushioned insole is also made with the tires, as well as squishy polyurethane.
You can purchase these shoes in purple ash, black olive or coffee liquer for $70.00 a pair. Add this Blottoe Bag in a flower print ($75.00) and you’ll be stylish and eco-chic!
