Greenscapes Mountain Sneaker – Timberlands Earth Friendly Shoes

Timberland has been getting a lot of press and praise about its new Green Index program. For those who don’t know about the Green Index system, hear what Timberland has to say;
“The road to a healthier and sustainable planet begins with each one of us, which is why we created the Green Index™ rating system. It measures the amount of impact on the environment to make the shoe and then gives a rating between 0 to 10 for that impact. The lower the rating, the better the environmental performance. The Greenscapes Mountain series is the first collection to feature the Green Index™ rating system.”

  • Soles – Made from recycled rubber and leftover cuttings from other outsoles
  • Shoelaces – Made from 100% recycled plastic flakes
