Spring is just around the corner and my thumb is already starting to turn green. Is yours? A new pair of shoes soon to hit the market will do all of your gardening for you, no green thumb required.

Zachary Shahan at The Fun Times Guide to Living Green says,

Some Dutch entrepreneurs recently started OAT Shoes and their first collection is about to be launched after two years of research and development. As hinted above, the shoes are made completely of biodegradable materials and packed with “a bouquet of perennial wildflower seeds.”

The makers of the shoe also say that, despite the challenges, they’ve avoided having any toxic or harmful chemicals end up in the shoes.

The Virgin Collection includes “six cleanly styled sneaker classics.” Of course, if the product does well, the crew has some more design in mind it would like to get made.

There is no doubt that eco-fashion is on the rise, but would you go so far as to wear a biodegradable pair of shoes with wildflower seeds embedded in them?

Perhaps more importantly, do you think that such a pair of kicks would even live up to its no-hassle garden promise?
