For those of you who are into jogging or running you obviously know that Brooks makes some of the most comfortable and quality running shoes in the biz. But did you know that they also sell eco-friendly running shoes?

The Brooks Cascadia 2 running shoes were born out of the desire to provide a top notch running shoe without hurting the environment too much. The green running shoes are made form a substance known as ‘green rubber,’ which makes use of silicon versus the conventional petroleum for a more eco-friendly fashion. Unlike their fossil fuel counterparts, silicon materials are not derived through a lengthy processing that can release harmful toxins while being made.

The best part of these shoes is that they were designed in part with the input of vegan marathoner Scott Jurek. Wearing this kind of eco-savvy shoes allow you to go out running almost guilt free.

The shoes come in a variety of sizes and they are not that far off of the prices of the traditional running shoes at $95.00. Actually when you compare them with some brands they are a real bargain.

EcoZeal.com hopes that all runners will take a look at these alternative running shoes so that we can keep our planet just a little greener. Go GREEN!
