I happen to own a pair of these fine eco-sneakers and after putting them through an arduous series of tests from cocktail parties to wiffle ball games, I can firmly attest to their comfort, style and eco-friendly construction. These babies contain no animal byproducts or even regular animal products. This men’s ecoS is vegan friendly and veggie friendly with hemp uppers, sidewalls made from a recycled bike tire, organic cotton linings, recycled PET (that’s recycled plastic bottles) laces, PET pedbeds and even the paper pulp foot forms are 100% post consumer paper. The outsole used to be a car tire so the bottoms can have some ‘character’ and the tread isn’t designed for rock climbing or running wind sprints at the NFL Draft Combine; other than that you’re good to go.

Very cool post. Wondering if ecoS makes women’s shoes too or just for men? Also, are they made in the States or overseas? Either way, looks like a great eco-friendly product. Good find!
