Friday Giveaway: Simple Shoes

I think sometimes when you think of "eco-friendly" clothing you think of clothes that look and feel like burlap. Or, maybe you think of lots of tie-dye. We happen to believe that there are some pretty fabulous clothing options that are also eco-friendly. One of our favorites is Simple Shoes.

I love that in this current day and age, where there are so many companies touting their
"green-ness" (totally a word), or declaring their love for our planet, that Simple is just making really great shoes that are sustainably made and eco-friendly.

Did you know that their shoes are made out of this stuff?

I love that they refer to themselves as "a nice little shoe company getting in touch with its inner hippie." I think that is what we are doing at Mama Manifesto in our "Going Granola" category - we are just everyday moms trying to get in touch with our inner hippy, in an attempt to cultivate greater respect and stewardship of our planet, as well as trying to care for our families with healthier products.

The bottom line on Simple's products is that they are absolutely legit in touting their eco-friendliness! [and they are so, so cute and oh so comfy!]

Here are our current favorites that will fit the WHOLE FAMILY:

{Infant's Weebit shoe}

{Little Kid's Macaroon}

{Little Kid's Skippies/ecosneaks}

{Women's Toemale boot}

{Women's Avocatoe}

{Overlay Slippers; aka "world's most comfy slippers!!"}

{Men's Toemorrow sneakers}

Simple shoes are available online at Simple's site, or you can go here to find a retailer near you. But, we are excited to offer a super fun giveaway from Simple for our Mama Manifesto readers. Simple wants to give away a pair of the super cozy "Overlay House Slippers" and a pair of kiddo's shoes to one lucky mama! To enter this giveaway, visit the Simple Shoes website here (click on the kids link) and respond to this post with a comment of your favorite simple shoe style for your kiddo!

{{{{ JulieMoe}}}

(Julie, I apologize for laughing at your son and his ability to pee in his own ear! Shoot us an email in the next 2 weeks please, and we will hook you up!)

Thanks to everyone who shared their horrible poop stories. I think it is nice to know that poop, blowouts, pee going in the wrong places, and unfortunate diaper changing experiences happens to all of us. :) I forgot to mention that when I was newly pregnant with my son, and in the midst of changing one of my daughter's vile poopy diapers, I thew up on her poopy diaper and her bottom. That was a really fun clean up!

If this giveaway did not inspire me to begin potty training my son, I do not know what will!

Good luck winning the simple shoes, mamas!
