All moms know that a good shoe is so important for babies and toddlers. Their feet are still developing so they need flexible, breathable shoes. I've blogged about several great shoes for kids, but none of them have ALSO been eco-friendly. For the eco-conscious mom, finding a good, eco-friendly shoe is almost impossible! That's why I was so happy when Simple Shoes contacted me about reviewing their brand new line of toddler shoes-the Poodle, the Noodle, and the Doodle!


About Simple Shoes:
As Simple says, they are the "nice little shoe company getting in touch with its inner hippie." Simple is your stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes and a big dose of reality. They are committed to making their product 100% sustainable. Finding materials and processes that make their products sustainable is a method they call Green Toe. Progress in Green Toe is measured with a scale called "good, better, best." The best category represents their most sustainable shoes and bags and sets the bar for the rest of the line.

Simple sent Lucas a pair of the Noodle shoes (pictured right and below) in coffee liqueur. First of all, they are adorable! Not to mention that without a doubt they are also the most flexible and softest shoes that Lucas owns. Hands down. So, what makes these so special though? All moms will rejoice {as I did} when they learn that these shoes are WASHABLE! Yes, they are made from ECO-FRIENDLY WASHABLE SUEDE. For easy on and off, the Noodle style shoes have elastic laces with pull toggles.

Now, here's why the eco-friendly mom will rejoice!

• Eco-friendly washable suede and certified organic cotton toddler shoe. The suede is from an eco-certified tannery and organic cotton comes from non-genetically modified seeds and is grown without the use of pesticides and herbicides.
• Soft and fuzzy certified organic cotton fleece lining.
• Recycled PET and natural latex elastic laces with user friendly pull toggle. PET is made of recycled soda bottles
• Environmentally friendly packaging – made of post-consumer recycled paper, soy based printing ink, natural latex and starch based glue
• The soles are made of natural, non marking rubber.
• The foot form inserts are made of post consumer recycled paper.

Simple's new toddler shoe collection is truly awesome! These are not just for the eco-friendly mom--they are for every mom looking for a good shoe for her child. They provide everything that a child needs for their growing feet PLUS they are environmentally friendly! It doesn't hurt one bit that they are stylish, modern, and so cute.
