Plastic Shoes

For years, I have maintained that if you keep something it will come back in style. Styles are recycled. The recycle time is getting shorter as we have greater media coverage. What used to take years and at one point decades now just takes years.
I have friend who is a vegan, so she is going to be ecstatic about this fashion statement. Apparently plastic shoes are in! Wow, whoever decided that does not live in a hot country. Plastic does not breath. Apparently, the Brazilian shoe company Melissa has been designing and manufacturing plastic shoes for the past 25 years and is their products are sold in over 80 countries. This eco-friendly company believes that plastic is the best medium to communicate technology and renewal. (My mistake-Brazil qualifies as a hot country.)
An interesting trend, I will watch to see if it catches on. I try to be eco-friendly but plastic shoes are a problem. Will check them out when I buy my next pair of shoes but must admit that there are issues. I think that there is a deodorant for feet? Hopefully the quality is better than it appears in the pictures that I looked at and posted since the prices shout quality!
