Americans also know a lot about eco-shoes. For example, the manufacturer Sydney Brown in Los Angeles equally appreciates people, animals and the environment, and therefore abandoned the use of animal raw materials, provided fair working conditions to its workers and strived to minimize hazardous substances, waste and non-renewable resources in its production. The brand produces luxury shoes using organic cotton, wood, grains, seeds, recycled plastic and more, and the Sydney Brown concept itself has also received PETA approval.
