Product Description

Reduce your emissionslace up your Simple Men's EcoS Shoes and skate downtown instead of driving. These sneakers feature hemp uppers and organic cotton liners. Hemp grows like a weed and creates a durable, abrasion-resistant fabric. Organic cotton breathes and feels soft. Recycled bike tires make up the EcoS Shoes' sidewalls, and recycled car tire outsoles grip your skateboard and the ground. Simple made the laces from recycled plastic bottles.

Customer Reviews

Nice Mother Earth Friendly Shoes
I've owned several simple shoes before, and I really like the slim, classic look that simple portrays on most of their shoes. I really like the bike tread sidewall and it definitely gives the shoes that unique factor. I got the black pair in size twelve and they fit just like a size 12 should so I recommend buying the size you normally wear.

Pros:
- Well made, (on average my simple shoes have lasted about 3 years of constant use and what usually goes out first for me is that the bottom sole of the shoes wears through).
-Unique look
-Eco-friendly construction

Cons:
-Pad insert isn't as cushy as previous pads I've had from simple (this one's made from recycled PET)
-Shoes don't offer the best in breathability for your feet (satisfactory for most days, but on those cooker days your feet will get hot)

Well hope this helps you make your decision. I like these shoes a lot and they are my main daily shoes. The shoes are plenty comfortable, the cushioning pad insert is just a little too firm for my complete liking.

Eco friendly sneakers ROCK
Being 6'5" and having a size 15 shoe I found that these simple sneakers ran in a 16. They are made of Hemp which not only being more economically sound to our environment I know it will outlast any canvas made sneaker. I wasn't sure if they would be comfortable. However the first day me and my girlfriend wore them (having ordered two pairs, one for each of us) we had taken a trip from Long Island where we reside to Battery park to hop o a ferry and visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We walked around for 8 or more hours that day. We were sore by night but one thing that didt hurt was our feet. The sneakers are incredibly comfortable even right out of the box, no ned to be broken in.

Sweet kicks
These shoes are pretty cool. Much tougher than I would have figured (I'd never owned hemp shoes before), and super-stylish.

Sizing runs just a little large, I think. Depending on the brand, I usually wear an 8 or an 8.5 (and up to a 9 for certain athletic shoe brands). I ordered my Ecos Sneakers in size 8.5, and I think I'd probably order an 8 next time (possibly even a 7.5). However, these are essentially casual shoes, made for walking, rather than athletic shoes; a little extra room translates to extra comfort once they're broken in.

So, yeah. I dig 'em.
