Consumer Critique - greenReActives Shoes

 I recently had a chance to try out a pair of shoes from greenReActives. I love trying out environmentelly-friendly products, so I was happy to try these out.

The shoes are currently only available in women's sizes, and they are designed to be comfortable, easy to wear, easy to slip on and off, and eco-friendly. The shoes are soft and comfortable, yet still leave enough support for everyday wear. They're made using recycled plastic bottles and sugarcane-based EVA. They also have a lot of styles and colors available - clogs, ankle boots, and lace-ups in a wide variety of colors. I got to see the Cassia Cheshire Knit Lace-Up. It fit very well, and even though it was a lace-up, I was able to use it as a slip-on too  (I hate tying and untying my shoes all the time). I love the sustainability efforts with using recyclable and plant-based materials, too. And the price was very comparable to other quality shoes. It's definitely a brand I'll keep in mind the next time I need a pair of shoes!



Green Market, a heritage company with more than 50 years of footwear-making experience, is excited to announce the launch of greenReActives®, a sustainably made line of indoor-outdoor women’s footwear that’s part shoe and part slipper.
  • Soft knit, berber and faux felt uppers: The uppers are made from recycled PET plastic bottles.
  • Removable footbed: Designed locally in Massachusetts with 30% eco-friendly materials, the cushioning footbed wicks away moisture and cradles the foot.
  • Shock-absorbing midsoles: Light, flexible midsoles contain renewable, bio-based EVA that contains sugar cane resin.
  • Long-wearing outsoles: The outsoles are made with recycled, post-consumer materials and are durable enough to wear outdoors, yet won’t track dirt and debris indoors.
  • Sustainable laces: Laces are made from 100% recycled plastics.

To further reduce environmental impact, the box the shoes come in is the box they are shipped in — cutting down on weight and eliminating additional materials. The boxes are made of 100% recycled paper, using no glue or cement, and printed with water-based inks.
