Summer Flip Flops and Sandals are in!

Posted Apr 16, 2010 by Jessy Lang in Products

These cute new summer sandals from Simple Shoes are made from eco-certified leather. Are you wondering what that means? It means the factories that make them are certified with a BLC or ISO 14001 certificate. And what does that really mean? Well, BLC standards are specific for leather tanneries’ environmental management. ISO 14001 standards are general environmental standards. What it means to me is responsible manufacturing for shoes made from leather.

What else is good about them? They are very comfortable and super cute!

I am also really excited about the new flip flops Simple came out with this season. They are made to last, but not long enough to fill up the landfills for nearly 1000 years. The reason for this is the proprietary organic compound called EcoPure that Simple mixes in with the rubber they use to make the soles of these flip flops. It actually contains millions of tiny microbes that embed themselves in the molecular structure of the rubber. Eventually, after about 20 years in specific landfill conditions, the EcoPure breaks down the material and actually turns the outsoles into dirt. Don’t worry, it is not going to happen until way after you are finished wearing them. It is a very innovative way to make shoes, but the best part is that they are some of the most comfortable flip flops you can buy. That’s pretty important if you wear them almost every day during the summer, as you will definitely want to!
