Sitting out on a friend's balcony on a recent warm evening, I couldn't help but notice the adorable Mary Janes my friend had on.
The comfortable, UPS-brown shoes were from Simple, a company that promises shoes that are well made, durable and crafted from recycled and sustainable materials, such as old car tires and carpet padding, among other things. In other words, what the company calls "good shoes with a dose of reality."
One bit of reality is the price. These cute shoes - for men, women, children and infants - don't come cheap.
With that said, we liked the women's the open, flat Teetoe sandals, made of hemp and car tires for $65, the Flippee flip-flops for men and women for $30, and the children's Giraffe sneakers, with orange trim and sky-blue laces made of organic cotton and hemp for $42.
Simple shoes can be purchased online at www.simpleshoes.com; select styles are available at Goldi, 4144 N. Oakland Ave., Shorewood. - Mary Louise Schumacher
