Who knew you could walk the earth without hurting it…in style? There are lots of eco-friendly shoe designers out there these days, and kudos to all of them, but not all make the beckiemartina cut. Here are three that do: Environmentally conscious Brazilian footwear label Melissa, the recycled nature-friendly brand which has teamed up with European designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier and graced countless fashion runways and magazines with their fun and sexy styles. — At the other end of the fashion spectrum is Toms, the creator of the casual, funky espadrille with the “one for one” promise that with every pair of Toms you purchase, a pair of new shoes will be given to a child in need. And finally, our personal favorite, Olsen Haus 100% pure vegan shoes — a company which is hyper-aware of how “many shoes kill, pollute, and destroy lives and ecosystems on their journey to your feet.” Their products are 100% animal-free / cruelty-free and absolutely rock for both mommy and baby alike. To do our part and keep our readers’ carbon footprint small, we’ve located all three brands in one store: Kaight, 83 Orchard Street.
