Payless Secures a Place in the Green Circuit
Posted on 04.23.09 to $50 and under, Ethical Fashion by Lindsay
It’s no secret that corporate companies are eager to hop on the Captain Planet bandwagon, but it is exciting each time a big box company takes the leap. This time, it’s Payless ShoeSource with their new capsule collection from Zoe & Zac.
The Zoe & Zac green brand — available now in 1,000 Payless stores nationwide and Payless.com® — was created to democratize green footwear and accessory products by making them affordable and accessible and to bring eco-consciousness to the mainstream. The Zoe & Zac products are green because they are made from eco-friendly components and materials such as organic cottons and linen, natural hemp, recycled rubber outsoles, eco-friendly-EVA cushioning, and water-based glues for the shoes. Natural materials like dyed Tagua and Açai nuts are incorporated into the jewelry. The product packaging is eco-smart as well, utilizing 100 percent recycled shoe boxes and soy-based inks for the printing.
These shoes are all about summertime. Espadrilles, wedges, canvas sneakers… Everything you need to keep your summer young.

i do like payless and i am not surprised that they are doing an eco-friendy line, unfortunately i would probably only wear the wedge, love the color – but i guess one is better than none!

The slingback flat may just be my quintessential sandal for the summer. Shoes of the manis, very comfortable for work (I’m on my feet a lot), and the neutral olive will go with everything. Not to mention, they look easy to take on and off. I might have to visit my local Payless. I hope they have it.

I really like the purple wedges and the brown flats! Inexpensive and good for the environment…sounds perfect!
