  I would not buy BR__KS shoes with a so called biodegradable midsole. BR__KS was just sold this additive called biobatch when they wanted to jump on the me-too green bandwagon. It is supposed to be more green by more quickly (under the perfect conditions) becoming smaller in a landfill. Not sure how this helps things. It would be like adding a chemical to lead to make it breakdown faster and leach into the ground faster!

  If a company wanted to do something that was actually environmentally conscious they would look at their manufacturing processes to reduce waste, eliminate the use of harmful chemicals, and protect air and water quality. I assure you this is not the case here. This additive is available to other manufacturers, if it was a sound ecological choice why would they all not be using it?

  The issue is that a real solution takes a deeper comitment not just adding some new chemical, a fancy green logo, slap it in a recycled looking box and presto it's green.

  Just add more chemicals now your green right? Wrong!
