The Bite:
Take off your shoes, and get comfy in socks and slippers made from eco-materials - just the thing for hoppin' all over your high school's basketball court-turned-dance floor.
Wanna slipper into something even cozier than your date's letterman jacket?

The Benefits:
- Boppin' all night in 'em. You won't want these things to leave your feet.
- Hand jiving with eco-friendliness. Choose organic and eco-materials (like footwear made with glue that's water-based instead of the kind with toluene - a toxic material used in TNT).
Personally Speaking:
Call us hippies, but at least we're comfortable: A few of us in SF don slippers or go shoeless when we're in the office.
Wanna Try:
- Simple Underlay - slippers made with natural rubber and water-based glue; two color combos. Also: men's version ($55).
- Acorn Eco Slide - quilted slippers made from hemp, wool, and yak down ($48).
- Ecolution Hemp Slippers - durable organic hemp canvas slips; two color options. Also: men's version ($35).
- Teko Ultralight Micro Socks - nonbulky, water-wicking sport socks made with sustainable EcoMerino wool and recycled polyester. Also: men's crew version($13-$17).
Cocktail Fact
God save the Queen...from barefoot subjects: In the UK, it's illegal to stand sockless within 100 yards of the reigning monarch.
Bang For The Bite
It's a small change, but warming your feet with lux eco-fabrics helps avoid pesticides used to make conventional ones.
