Recommend me non-leather shoes.

Sign in to disble this ad
I turned vegan again last year and this is gonna be permanent I believe.However I've never been a total vegan before,I don't wear/use anything that'd harm an animal since July this year.

Winter is finally here,its raining and we even expect snow and I'm left here with my Chuck Taylors.I can't find a single brand that has no-leather in its products.I don't want to wear leather boots again,I doubt I can stomac it too.

Any suggestions of brands,ideas?

Thanks tplyons,I forgot to mention,I found lots of sites like that but buying a shoe online from a different country is a possible trouble.Sizes differ from UK,USA,Europe and even 2 same brand manufactured shoes have the possibility of not being the same size.

Oh, I didn't realize you were from out of the states: your English is wonderful.

In that case, I don't really know. I haven't shopped for new shoes in years.

Ipath makes some great hemp shoes. They are a skateboard type shoe, rubber soles (although rubber is made from oil, which is dead animals) and hemp. I have never had a pair, but everyone that I know that has had a pair has liked them.

I'm vegan too. My shoe of choice is crocs.

I also ordered some non-leather Doc Martin ankle boots about 6 years ago... they are still going strong.

Congrads on your humane choice!

You are confusing rubber with plastic. Rubber is made from rubber trees...well unless it's synthetic rubber. hmmm...

What is the Vegan stance on oil? If you're truly vegan then I suppose you be screwed in this day an age. Of course you could sacrifice some of your beliefs in the name of conveniance, as most probably do. But then you'ld have to check all your food sources to see if pesticides are used...how many fieldmice are slaughtered by the harvesters...

Man Veganism is tough.

One thing you may consider is buying used leather boots. At least you won't directly be supporting the leather industry. Consider that a good last resort.

Oil is not only fossil animals,there are trees and humans in it and I haven't heard a single man killing an animal to stock oil,for the upcoming millions of years.

I'm no supermodel but I'd rather die of cold before wearing yellow construction worker rubber boots in public.
