You know it’s almost sandal season when running to the yoga studio in flip flops makes more sense than doing it in Uggs. (Yes, I wear both—I do live in Vancouver, after all) And one of the first on my to-buy list is these eco-friendly pair by Vancouver-based designer Leticia Calvo Treffot for her label, De La Rue ($135, at noblivity.com). Available in multi-coloured stripe or sleek, simple silver, the single-strap flats feature soles hand-cut from old tires. I like the slight irony of my footprint resembling a tire print, especially since I try to forgo driving for bicycling once the warmer weather hits.

    As much as I support being environmentally friendly, I find the $135 price tag much too high for a pair of flip flops!

    Really cute!!! I saw them in one shop in Vancouver when I was there 2 weeks ago! I will definitely get them for this summer and I don’t think the price is too high when it comes to support a Canadian designer!

    Found them on my newsletter at The Block in Gqstown…lets go shopping! Vancouver shoe designers are a rarity.
