Treehugger article: 6 Sustainable Shoes to Dance in the New Year

While I appreciate articles like this on Treehugger that highlight sustainable shoes, I'm often frustrated that the same designers always seem to be mentioned - specifically Terra Plana, Olsen Haus, Kitty Cooper, MINK. (All these links can be found on the right side of this blog, too.)

These are all great companies, but where is the new blood? I am glad that Melissa shoes was included but I've always questioned the sustainability of shoes made completely of plastic. And the Zoe & Zac line from Payless is a great mention (though again, not new) and probably the only one completely affordable for the general public.

Shoe-of-the-day: Ecouterre and Terra Plana

I have been a fan of Terra Plana for a while now, but have recently come to adore the (relatively new) website Ecouterre which recently featured an awesome post on these new quilted booties. They have some of the best eco-fashion articles with pictures and such a killer variety compared to some of the others out there.

And side note for locals - Vert and Vogue  in Durham is the only place nearby that I know of carrying Terra Plana. If there are others I would love to know!
