Where does one find environmentally friendly shoes for children?
Children’s shoes are a quickly expanding market, and companies with a green perspective are now jumping into the race with mini-versions of everything from flip-flops to slippers to heeled dress shoes. Although green kids’ shoes from makers such as Simple, which offers organic-cotton EcoSneaks with car-tire soles, might seem expensive at $40 or more, they are durable enough to get passed from sibling to sibling. “It is an investment if you’re going to do quality,” says Craig Throne, general manager of footwear at Patagonia.
