Recycle Jeans Into Funky Sandals

md_recycle your jeans.jpg Do you have a much loved pair of old jeans that you can’t bear to part with? Well now you can send them for recycling and have them made into a pair of funky sandals!

Not only is that brilliant from a landfill perspective, but the sandals are designed to improve posture and make your legs feel like they are walking on sand so they keep us fit too!

The sandals are made in Cumbria so the Carbon footprint is one of the lowest ever for footwear.
