A few weeks back I tested out some eco friendly flip-flops. This past week I have been wearing vegan shoes courtesy of Jambu Adventure Designs. Many of their shoes (including mine above) are vegan which makes them a great choice for ethical vegans and vegetarians who still want fashionable footwear. They also have an earth friendly bent because their outsoles are made with partially recycled and re-usable compressed rubber. They also use 100% recycled, recyclable and re-usable packaging. So while they are not the perfect green shoe they are certainly a good option for those looking to reduce their impact. A step in the right direction.
What I really like about their line is that most of the shoes seemed geared for environmentalists and adventurers. Its outdoor fashion. The shoes above are their water diva vegan shoes, which are pretty darn comfortable. And if you recall my post on barefoot running then you will know why I was excited to see they have vegan barefoot shoes too. I do not try to make every purchase vegan but where I can, I like to do so… wearing animals on our feet when we don’t have to is a huge waste of life.
Other women might be attracted to the design of the shoes with feminine floral motifs and contrast stitching. They are nice looking shoes. From the straps to the soles. They have a tribal flair that I like.
They are designed for adventuring and actual use. Jambu shoes are trail rated and they can be tightened or loosed as needed. Some are designed for use in an out of the water as well. That is the part that excites me because I am not to big on fashion but I do admit that they are snazzy shoes to look at. Any shoe company that makes ethical shoes or eco shoes need to appeal to a broad market and this brand seems to capture the green Fashionistas along with the outdoor adventuring type.
These shoes are sold via outside retailers so if you want to find them try Zappos or Amazon.

I really enjoy your posts by the way, I have learned and passed on some cool stuff! This past few years, the comfy shoe/sandal world has just exploded. Some weird stuff, unclouded, like high heeled Tevas, that make you go ‘huh?’ with these I love the girly look combined with the recycled, vegan, *fun-ctionality.*
Thanks for taking the time to review all this stuff, tho I imagine it is a pretty fun mama job, and you do it well–thx again!
That would be “included,” not “unclouded,” this mama needs some coffee!
There are so many I love. Just what I am looking for..being pregnant throughout the summer..these look super comfy AND stylish. I love the Espy in tan, the water vegan and the cherry mesh! Too many to pick just one.
Thanks Tiffany for introducing me to these.
I ‘liked’ their page on FB..so funny and I JUST got the email about them on Zulily!
So nice to see eco-friendly shoes look so jazzy, I think I need a pair, my kids call my current shoes, ugly toad shoes.
I like the Water Divas.
Vegan AND stylish? totally Awesome. When I look at these, they look SOOOOO comfortable. I would love to show them off if I had a pair and enjoy them.
I would like that they offer vegan options, I would try the

Tiffany, I really like the Odyssey Women’s Sport Sandal. It reminds me of some Sketchers I once owned, only I’m sure it is more comfy and eco-friendly. I like the black ones, in a size 7.5. Thanks for the article on home-made laundry detergent.
Tough to decide, but I think I like the Espy!
Nature Mom,
I love your blog, found it today doing a search for carob dessert recipes and found the peanut butter carob balls. So I am leaving a comment to enter the Jumbu shoe give away. My 42nd birthday is the 24th, it would be great to get a new pair of Jumbu shoes. I really like the Papaya Style in Black Nubuck, the Water Diva in Black or White is beautiful, and then the Cherry Mesh in Black. The are great looking shoes. I have worn Keen but not Jumbu. I also visited their Face Book page and used the ‘Like’ Button. I look forward to getting a pair of thier shoes, either way. I really enjoy your blog as well and look forward to reading more.

There are so many super cute ones! I definitely think I like the Water Diva ones the best. I’m actually going to Africa for a missions trip in July and these seem like they would be perfect for traipsing on a bit of a safari or up a mountain. I love the Oasis shoe, but it’s not available which is rather a bummer!
I love that they are summer shoes, but with a covered toe.
The relaxed look is perfect for camping this summer!
They are not only stylish and super cute, but they also would be great for all my favorite summer activities: chasing kiddos at the park, playing in the river, shopping the Farmer’s Market!
I liked them on FB!

Oh, my gosh! I love the Jambu Odyssey shoes! Too cute!!!
The Odyssey shoes look particularly cute!
cute!
I love these shoes, they are adorable! The straps are dainty and feminine and I love that they are waterproof with a covered toe. I can wear these to work in our Greenhouse and still have a covered shoe that I don’t mind getting soaked when watering!
love the barefoot shoes in brown/pistachio–what a great color combo!
I’d love to try the barefoot vegan!
Great idea. They look great too.
A quick look at Zappos had me drooling. Of the vegan shoes, the one you have pictured here is lovely, espicailly in the lavendar. Their other shoes are admittedly tempting, I appreciate knowing they are making environmental efforts.
