Baby shoes are irresistible enough without any extra incentives to buy them.  They are instant "awwwww" and "OMG, how cute!" inducers. 

So who can possibly resist buying tiny kicks that are not only adorable but also environmentally responsible? 

Here are some options sure to challenge the impulse control of every mom and grandmother:

  • Weebit Organic Cotton Shoes from Simple Shoes - made with organic cotton, wool felt and recycled plastics (PET), these adorable shoes look as comfortable as they are sustainable.  Also offering Weebit Hemp shoes.
