The EcoMan:
Puddle Jumpers
At ecofabulous, we feel very strongly that you’re never too old to go puddle-jumping. This Spring, we’re excited to make a splash in natural tapped rubber wellies from Aigle Boots.
Many of the less expensive options for wellies are made out of PVC, which comes laden with a host of hazardous chemicals like mercury, dioxin (a known carcinogen) and phthalates (an endocrine disrupter) – a definite puddle-jumping joy kill. But natural rubber is a renewable resource tapped from rubber trees. At $89 and $54, we love the matching Malouine and Lolly Pop styles for adults and kids – that rubber ducky yellow would be so cute paired with the new Coby Eco Umbrella from Crate & Barrel.
Current styles of Aigle Boots have different liners like nylon, polyester or cotton – but we’re anxiously awaiting the development of a new line of boots with organic cotton lining! We will, of course, keep you posted on the expected release.
