Brands in common-PUR and BAFFIN showed a focused line of casual and performance footwear...for Spring 2013.

PUR is an eco-driven brand using natural crepe for outsoles, latex foam cushioning, and vegetable tanning for leathers.

New ---is the Hemp Collection---featuring footwear made of hemp and organic cotton...coupled with a soft all day comfortable footbed atop a natural crepe outsole.

Nice---the silhouettes are slimmer-more fashionable looking...imo.
