organic sandals

I googled 'organic sandal' and found these. Cmon, no one really buys this grossness do they?




I don't care that it has "all natural, biodegradable uppers of hemp, wool and yak down and soft French terry linings of hemp and certified organic cotton" and a "non-slip weatherproof outsole of 25% recycled TPR for indoor/outdoor wear" not that I even know what that last bit means (but it sounds helpful). I don't care that it's good for the planet - it's poisoning my eyes! Why does planet friendly have to look so ugly?

Fortunately the site says "We're sorry -- no color of this style is currently available." Which is equally vague, comforting and disturbing.
