Sarah needs a new pair of shoes again apparently. So, I said… that’s fine, I’ll do a deal – buy the shoes on my credit card but do a review of them here on Beauty Hive.

So later today Sarah is placing her order with Jones The Bootmakers and in a few days she’ll be reviewing them here on the site for you all.

Why do you women need so many pairs of shoes anyway?

Veja Volley eco Trainers

John — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:02:32 +0000

We’ve previously blogged about the merits of eco trainers and we’ve been searching for a while (well okay, a week or three!) for an online retailer that stocks a popular brand. The good news is we’ve found someone!

Ethical products store adili.com have several models of the Veja eco-trainer range in stock including the rather smart, white Veja Volley here. The bad news is …well, as stock levels fluctuate you might not find your size sorry!

If you buy a pair please could you let us know what you think about them? You could leave a comment here (the easiest approach) or use our contact form and get in touch that way.

Veja Volley eco Trainers

Eco Trainers

We’ve got a sneakery feeling that so-called eco trainers could take off in 2008. Made from organic or recycled materials and sourced from ethical trade from around the world the ever-present trainer is going to become eco-friendly. Even global market producers are taking note too!

Following the success with the Air Jordan XX3 shoe, Nike is now producing a new trainer called Trash Talk – from the sole to the shoelaces, this shoe is produced not only from environmentally preferred materials but also recycled waste, with much of the latter coming from Nike’s own production facilities – scraps that would otherwise have been discarded.

One of the more popular brands in the eco footwear market is Veja and they’ve been receiving some good press for the Veja Volley – an eco trainer with a very stylish design harking back to 70’s Brasil. With a strong ethical background, Veja are helping to support nearly 100 families in a region of Brasil where the organic cotton used in the shoe is grown. We haven’t found too many shops that sell the eco trainers online but ethical goods store Adili.com has the full Volley range in stock including the Volley model.
