Eco Shoes?

So who would've thought that you could buy eco friendly running shoes...but I did last night. My new Brookes are made with the globe in mind. Firstly, instead of running a sheet of rubber and stamping out the mid-soles, they have special moulds which they fill with rubber pellets (grown in their own sustainable plantations) which they heat till they melt together...and this sole is also biodegradable in under 20 years! Awesome. Then the laces are made from 100% recycled material, as are their boxes, and some outsole sections are made using sand in the process rather than oil. They will no doubt not be perfect as a company, but awesome to have a company like this moving with the times and thinking about our environment (even if the cynical side of me wonders if it is just to make money from an ever increasing eco-conscious public!?)
