The Splaff Flip Flops are not comfortable for me because they are way to flat. I love the premise, recycled car tire upper and lower parts, but they do not fit me well.
Splaff’s Flip Flops are way too flat for me, like can’t be in the army flat, but they are eco-chic and cool. I wish I could wear them, but the Simple ones are going to have to be my summer standard until I can find a more comfortable pair.
I do like the way they look, just plain and black, but damn, too flat for me. Maybe I’m a freak of nature and just should not wear car tire flip flops.

I really liked Zero Per Gallon’s recycled bike tire belt, but Splaff’s is even better. The Splaff belt looks more like a belt than a tire whereas the ZPG is basically an inner tube with Velcro. I am, in fact, wearing the ZPG belt while I write this review after a bike ride, but the Splaff belt is classier and more functional.
The recycled inner tube and hemp fabric liner is strong and durable; the grommets are just my style as well. The dark black belt with silver accents, for me, is an instant hit. The size is pretty true, meaning, I have a 33 waist and the medium fits snugly.
Splaff also produces wallets, guitar straps and flip flops and we’ll be reviewing some of this soon, so check back with us.

I am a big fan of belts and I always struggle to find fun, vegan belts. Zero Per Gallon makes it easy to not only have a fun vegan belt, but have one with a message that supports a few causes.
Zero Per Gallon recycles bicycle tires to create belts. You can purchase them with regular buckles or with Velcro. Each belt is custom made, so you can choose the color, the fastener, and the size. ZPG will make it for you and it’s goat free.
ZPG is a San Francisco based company who is planning a long haul on a boat, their profits from the ZPG products like the shirts, patches, and belts go towards that cause.
Though this belt is not my favorite of all time, it will not set off the metal detectors and is rather sturdy. I wear a 33 waist and I elected for the medium belt. It fits perfectly with certain pants but not so perfect with others. That is not a flaw with the belt because the medium belt is sized to be larger than your waist, rather something to get used to.
I really like the belt; it’s strong enough to hold up your pants and your bike lock too. The Velcro belt is sometimes hard to close depending on the position of your belt loops, but it still works. I show off my belt all the time, so all can admire it’s black beauty, but I think I need another one, this time with a buckle.
ZPG’s will appeal to bicyclists of all sorts, vegans and vegetarians, but regular people too. This post is Goat Free!
