ScooterBees Eco-Friendly, Moldable Kids Shoes for Green Tykes
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 04.18.08
Designed and manufactured in San Francisco, ScooterBees was the brainchild of one frustrated mom who had the darndest time finding a pair of kids' shoes that fit a variety of feet widths and instep thicknesses, were easy for parents to put on and take off, and were comfy, on top of being eco-friendly, to boot.
ScooterBees soft-soled shoes are crafted from Sensuede fabric, a breathable and spill-resistant microsuede made with 100 percent post-consumer and post-industrial polyster. Lined with naturally antibacterial and antifungal bamboo velour, the shoes also come with soles composed of anti-slip and water-resistant ThermoPlastic Elastomer, a degradable material that is free of PVC, latex, dioxins, and phthalates.
The shoes, which cost around $36 a pair, come in four sizes: 0 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, 12 to 18 months, and 18 to 24 months. ::ScooterBees
