Eco Shoes - Next Big Thing?

Are environmentally friendly shoes the next big fashion statement? More and more companies are adding a line of shoes, or shifting altogether, to using sustainable, organic, recycled or environment friendly materials. In some cases the price does tend to go up, in most it is pretty comparable to top brands.

So the real question is would a consumer buy shoes that have an “Eco-friendly” production? Well, that depends. It’s all a matter of whether the latest styles, trends and even endorsements are made - most importantly if the shoes are in fact non harmful to the environment after they’ve gone through the usual wear and tear. There is definitely a huge market as it is for these types of shoes it only remains to be seen if it can get mainstream attention.

Imagine a junkyard without millions of rubber soles just sitting there. Not a bad scene I have to say.
