Old Navy sandals are not just affordable summer staples thanks to their relaunched design, which makes them plant-based and sustainable. The new women’s plant-based flip-flops and slides feature an EVA foam outsole made from 51% renewable sugarcane, and they can be found in fun colors and silhouettes to suit different outfits and expressions of style.
As Old Navy describes, "These flip-flops are partially made from renewable sugarcane, which helps cut down on our consumption of fossil fuels,” the product details state. “It looks and feels just like your favorite flip-flops, while helping reduce our carbon footprint." These summer sandals make it easy to make a switch to a more eco-friendly choice that doesn't compromise when it comes to style; the Plant-Based T-Strap Flip-Flops can be found in shades like Copper Moon, Olive Green and Taupe.
