The Budget Ecoist- Eco Living on a Budget

This beautifully designed handcrafted Brazilian women's shoe line includes sandals, flats, peep-toes, boots, and moccasins, all of which are made with natural materials, including untreated, vegetable-dyed leather, and feature breathable soles. In addition to producing killer shoes that won't kill your feet, the company is dedicated to providing fair wages and benefits, ethical treatment, and safe working conditions for all of its employees. And, this fall Corso Como will be introducing a recyclable packaging initiative, in which all of its shoe boxes, paper, and other packaging materials will be eco-friendly, thus saving an estimated 2,000 trees per year.

Corso Como shoes can be found at Nordstrom, Zappos.com and Piperlime.com. We especially like this metallic leather "Roxann" sandal with its pretty floral cutouts and high-heel espadrille with ankle strap, now on sale at Nordstrom for $69.90.
