Linda asks…
Do companies like Nike sell shoes that are made from organic or recycled material?
I need new runners and I want to buy ones that are made from recycled material or something Eco–Friendly. I live in Canada and don’t have a lot of stores to choose from. Do any “famous” brands sell shoes that are better for the environment? Thanks.
The Expert answers:
So far the only other companies I have seen that have shoe from recycled materials are all for the outdoor market or what I call casual. Simple shoes and I believe Teva are two that I remember. I know Teva does make a few trail runners – just not sure if they are recycled.

Eco-Friendly Stufffsss(:?
Okay, Tomorrow’s Earth Day & I neeeedd some help!
I have a shirt picked out “Earth Day Every Day” (white & Green), Pair of Blue Jeans, Brown Shoes, how should I wear my hair? I want it to look Mother-Nature-y? & How can I make some eco–friendly stuff to wear? Maybe a bracelet er something like that ; out of stuff that’s probably already at my house though…Whoever comes the most eco–friendly to school gets extra credit on a Science Test, & considering I’m failing, I need all the help I could get.
Please? 😀
It doesn’t actually have to BE eco–friendly,
as long as it looks nature-ey(x

What are some cool eco-friendly or recycled products?
I wanted to see if there were any products the answer’s community would know about that are pretty cool and useful.
I’m not talking about a ‘green’ water heater or anything, I’m talking about stuff like this, the mighty wallet. It’s made from recycled material, it’s strong, tear-resistant, and water-resistant.

There’s also these shoes I like from Simple.

I just didn’t know if there are some other products I don’t know about that people generally use everyday that’s recycled or eco–friendly and relatively cool. All answers are welcome, and if you can, include a link to the site showing the product off.
The Expert answers:
Well … “cool recycled products” brings something funny to mind. The bud light commercial with the house made of bud light cans. HAHA….
On a more serious note…
I made a binder for school out of a few pieces of cardboard from an old box, and some old clothes that didn’t fit me anymore. I used a pair of jeans for the outside, and some boxers for the inside. I cut the pockets out and sewed them on the outside of the binder. I thought it was pretty cool. Lasted me quite a while (despite being poorly hand sewn), and I passed it on as a gift later on.

The Expert answers:
Nordstroms without a doubt!
I found my silver toms and my black glitter toms there! They had at least 16 different slip on styles not to mention the vegan ones, and the platform ones!
Can’t wait to hear what style you pick!!
Donna asks…
Do TOMS shoes smell as bad as people say they do?
I feel like getting a pair of TOMS shoes, but I’ve heard some people say that they smell after awhile. Obviously if you wear shoes without socks they’re bound to smell at some point, but my question is do they start to smell immediately, and is it completely rank (since they’re suppose to be eco–friendly)?
The Expert answers:
Ok im a guy and my toms smell horrible, i hate taking them off when i go some were, especially to my girlfriends, they are super comfy, you can get whats called Flats socks i think and its like a sock that barley goes past your toes and they are perfect to wear with toms but i never wear socks with mine and they reek
