Payless ShoeSource is another company getting in on the green movement. The shoe store is launching a new line of eco-friendly women's shoes in early 2009, with children's and men's lines to follow, and updated looks with every new shoe season. The first eight to twelve styles will initially be launched in a limited number of stores and in the online store.
Payless is working with environmentalist Summer Rayne Oakes on the new line, which will be made using materials such as organic cotton, linen, and hemp, and will feature recycled outsoles. The shoes will be produced on machines that use biodegradable glues and come in "eco-smart" packaging. They will cost, on average, less then $30 per pair.

Interesting! I sure hope they are more comfortable their their "regular" shoes. Its worth it for me to check them out when they are launched. Thanks for the heads up!

Glad to here another company have joined in the green movement. Are you the same with me to have a more relaxing and joyful feeling while buying these shoes? And its cheaper price is also attractive. When will it be launched? I am eager for that day.

I know a lot of people hate them, but wal-mart is also making their suppliers reduce their packaging to help the environment. If their suppliers reduced their packaging even by 5% think of the reduction in waste. Visit their website to find out more.
