Who makes the best vegan shoes?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

It's time to buy shoes, but I don't know which ones last, or are

comfortable. So many makes to choose from ...

 

Vegetarian Shoes (Brighton):

* My current shoes (conservative men's shoes, can't remember the style)

have taken 3-4 years to wear out (gaps between sole and upper; heel

lopsided), whch is pretty good going

* Scuff very easily (someone else, possibly Stephen W, had that

experience too)

* Someone else told me their shoe fell apart really easily, but that was

a different style

 

So does anyone else want to post makes and models of shoes which have

stayed together & comfortable for years?

The Vegetarian Shoes " Oxford " style always seem to last me a long time.

I got some from Ethical Wares (it was their safety boot), and have

worn them constantly for nearly three years. They're fine, except a

bit of a hole on the top which tends to let in water if it's really

wet out. I also have some from Vegetarian Shoes (just bought a new

pair actually, and they do seem to scuff easily), but the pair I've

had for five years I don't wear very often because they take ages to

put on. When I have worn them though, they've seemed quite tough and

hard-wearing. They're both good makes from what I've experienced. I

haven't really used any other online companies, but you can sometimes

get good non-leather shoes in High Street shops. I suppose it depends

on which company has the style you like best.

My DM boots from Vegetarian Shoes are still going after many years, a

bit scuffed in places but hardly surprising by now.

 

Sadly they do not make them anymore, which is a shame really as they

did shoes too and I would have recommended those.

My current shoes are from vegetarian shoes, plain shoe with air cushion sole. I

must admit that I am a little disapointed by how much they let water in through

the sole join.

Previously I had a pair of Oxford style shoes from Ethical Wears and they

never let in any water and lasted ages.

The new Vegetarian Shoes airsoles are just as good - made in England by a

company with better ethical standards than most. They also do a good airsole

shoe with a thinner sole than normal which passes off well as a posh shoe

for business and other boring penguin occasions.

 

The dress shoes all scuff easily, but can be polished.

 

The VS VeggieHiker 4 is great.

 

I like VS because I live in Brighton and can try the shoes on - sizes vary a

lot because no one makes their own shoes with the exception of the really

expensive people like Pathfinders or whatever they're called (none of whose

styles I like). At least I can go in, try the things on and so on at VS. I

have also bought shoes from the Vegan Store, but the quality in both cases

has not impressed me - could just be those models, though.

 

 

Cheers
