They are from the Recycling Bin... Literally

Who would have thought that you would be wearing recycled car tires to be environmentally conscious? I would if I had these shoes. My friend, Priyanka Mody, bought sneakers from REI, an outdoor equipment and gear store, in order to "go green." The Simple Satire Treehugger Shoes consist of PET laces, organic cotton linings, plastic outer lining, and an outside made of recycled car tires. These shoes are not only eco-friendly, but are also very fashionable. With a similar shape to converse, these shoes can never go out of style. Priyanka's rating of the performance of her shoes is "they are really comfortable and they function just as well- even though they are made out of all this recycled and old trash. Basically- they haven't let me down." Remember, going green does not mean buying Pumas that are made out of real leather. So try spending all the money ($60) on these shoes instead.
