Eco-Fashionable Friday :: Winter Boots

We have seen intermittent, winter action here on the East Coast (the “benefits” of global warming). But unlike many, should the big snow storm come upon us, I will certainly be unprepared with eco-friendly boots. For those who slacked like I did, we are in this together. As the snow falls outside, I’ve compiled a list of some warm, toasty boots for women and men that won’t burn a hole in our pockets or in the ozone layer.

Treton: Kelly Vinter (Women’s), Bomanbeck (Men’s)

Treton: Kelly Vinter (Women’s),  4
The Kelly Vinter’s for women are now on sale. The charcoal grey is just $43!
These versatile boots made from 100% waterproof natural rubber, PVC free, use faux fur lining. 100% post industrial mesh. The insole is EcoOrtholite. “EcoOrthoLite uses an environmentally friendly, non-food source bio-oil as a substitute for traditional fossil fuel based raw material. The bio-oil replaces 20% of the petroleum traditionally used in the polyol component of urethane foams, making the formula part of a clean, renewable resource.” The midsole and outsole are almost made from rubber.
