Press Release
Vegan Baby Superstore KidBean.com Debuts First Natural Fiber Vegan Kids Shoes
KidBean.com is thrilled to announce the addition of natural fiber vegan kid’s shoes to their already extensive selection of all-natural baby and toddler products.
March 26, 2004--KidBean.com is thrilled to announce the addition of natural fiber vegan kid’s shoes to their already extensive selection of all-natural baby and toddler products.
KidBean.com’s shoes are made with both natural and recycled components and are softened through a non-toxic process of air blasting, which makes them more comfortable and safer for both the children who wear them and the environment. But comfort was not the only consideration for KidBean.com president Melissa Zenz. “These shoes are a perfect example of what we stand for. They combine environmentalism with veganism to make the most sustainable product possible. And they’re very fashionable, which translates into a bigger environmental impact—the more children who wear them, the greater the impact. There’s no point to an eco-friendly shoe if no one will wear it.”
Adding to the shoes’ appeal is the fair labor conditions under which they are manufactured. The workers in Romania who make and assemble the shoes work in high-quality conditions, are paid above-average wages, and are offered health care coverage and retirement pension benefits. As for the shoes themselves, the uppers are made from 100% chemical-free Romanian hemp that is grown and processed without the use of toxic chemicals--even the thread used in the stitching is made from hemp. And perhaps the best attribute of the shoes is their 100% recycled rubber tire soles.
“Nearly all vegan shoes contain a great deal of plastic,” Zenz explained. “This is not only bad for the wearer, it’s devastating for the environment. We needed to insure our shoes lived up to our standards of sustainability and safety, especially since these shoes are made for children.”
It is exactly those standards that kept KidBean.com from offering shoes when the store first opened. “There were no natural fiber vegan kid’s shoes on the market at the time,” said Jeff Corpening, vice-president of KidBean and Zenz’s husband. “We searched for years to find shoes for children that would encompass all of our values, and we are elated that we finally have them to offer.”
“And this is only the beginning,” added Zenz. “We are currently in talks with different manufacturers to expand our selection of colors, styles and sizes. It really is an exciting time for us and all of our socially conscious customers.”
KidBean is owned by Envegan, Inc, and is a home-based, family-owned and operated Internet business whose mission is to provide a wide variety of eco-friendly, vegan products that positively impact the total health of the earth and its inhabitants. The company strives to make compassionate consumerism easier and more affordable.
