Eco-friendly ‘Green’ Shoes, From Shoe to Packaging, For Baby and Toddler

safbaby2 | September 10, 2009 | 1 Comment

Simple Shoes Doodle Noodle PoodleSimple® shoes has done it again!  Not only do we adore their eco-friendly line of infant shoes, but we love their “green” shoes for little kids too!

Poodle and Doodle and Noodle.  Sounds so fun I have to say it again…..Poodle, Doodle and Noodle are all the names of the shoes in this fabulous line.  Names make you giggle, and the shoes themselves make you smile.  Beautifully designed and manufactured with great integrity!

Wanna know what else makes these shoes such a must?

Eco Friendly Shoes Means Shoes For A Happy Planet

Simple® shoes strives for 100% sustainability!  This means less waste, less pollution and a much happier planet in our children’s future.  Now THAT is something well worth supporting.

Made from green materials such as certified organic cotton and ECO certified leather and suede make this special line a product that is treading lightly on the planet.  Not only that, but every bit of the packaging is recyclable too!

  • Did you know that conventional cotton farming is one of the most environmental toxins to our planet?  Yep, roughly 1/3 of a pound of chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, processing chemicals and dyes) are used to make just ONE cotton t-shirt!  Certified Organic Cotton (which Simple® uses) is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides.  To see a very eye opening video, see an important post of ours on conventional cotton and world poverty.
  • And tanneries….  Dangerous chemicals are used to dye leather shoes, and many people who work and live near tanneries are dying from cancer caused by exposure.  Most of our kids shoes are loaded with these chemicals and there are, unfortunately no strict safety standards in the US.  BUT, Simple® shoes come from factories that have committed to continued efforts to reduce their environmental impact.

Features We Love About Simple Shoes For Toddlers

Along with the fact that these shoes are sustainable and eco-conscious they are stylish, comfortable, supportable and easy to get in and out of.  We really dig the contrasting color combos, even followed through with the stitching.

After the first wash they looked brand new again!  We love the look of these shoes:  built to last yet cozy!  The sole of the shoe is flexible and the inside material is quite soft too.

Mom Approved-Child Tested Seal Of Approval- Green Award

These shoes are so extraordinary and earth friendly that they happily receive our original Green Award!  What criteria did they pass to get such a fantastic award that parents can trust?
