Terra Plana Shoes

Terra Plana Shoes is an eco-friendly shoe line for men, women, and kids. All shoes are made with recycled materials. They are known for their functionality and use of eco-friendly materials.http://www.terraplana.com/about_tp.phpThe company was built up by Galahad Clark, a shoemaker from Somerset, England. Before Clark was involved with Terra Plana, the company was small and struggling, but had unique design ideas. Clark added the use of recycled ideas and expended the existing collection for females after he took over in 2003.http://m.ecofriend.org/entry/an-exclusive-interview-with-terra-plana-a-british-shoe-company/
