As one of the biggest names in eco shoes, Simple recently won Footwear Plus' first ever "Green Award" for their efforts to reduce their environmental impact on the planet. They're committed to making products that are 100% sustainable, using materials like jute, crepe, cork, water-based glues, and recycled car tires.

And if all of that isn't enough to pique your interest, they also make incredibly cool-looking, affordable shoes, like the "Satire" hemp sneakers shown here.

These shoes come in lots of great colors and patterns, and if hemp isn't your speed, they're also available in cotton canvas.
