The One Green Planet Verdict:
In one word, these shoes are “fun.” They look cool, are Eco-friendly and the company informed us that they do not use animal material in the fabrication of the shoe! The sole is made of “ecological leather,” which is a form of synthetic leather.
We reviewed the “Deep Purple” in women’s and the “Yute” style in men’s and liked both. The deep purple is casual, comfortable and great for everyday light use — you can slip them on and walk right out! The Yute style in men’s was our favorite — it’s super fashion-forward, very comfortable, and will add a splash of style to your casual wardrobe…. so sport it at your next summer party!
The company does not offer sizes above 10.

I actually really enjoyed wearing these shoes around town. As a NYC-er, two things are important to me: stylish appearance and comfort. They were a really cute light color with tiny white polka dots. It wasn’t hard to find an outfit to pair them with because their simple clean look pretty much went with everything. I literally walked all over, and I was surprised that even though the shoes were “new” I didn’t have to break them in first. I would suggest buying them! Though now that we are moving into winter, probably not the white pair.
