Throughout October, for every Simple Shoes purchase at Res|Toe|Run stores, a pair of Simple Shoes will be given to beneficiaries of the project. With the recent calamity caused by Typhoon Ondoy, the company has also pledged an additional P300,000 worth of Simple Shoes to help out.
Simple shoes are made from sustainable materials like organic cotton, hemp, and recycled materials like PET plastics and used car tires. The shoes are made by California-based Deckers Outdoor Corp., an industry leader in sustainable and eco-friendly shoes, vegan shoes, sandals, and bags.
Res|Toe|Run stores are located in Glorietta 4, Robinson’s Ermita, Robinson’s Galleria and TriNoma.
