Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 on the other hand, it's not like organized labor was ever above fighting nasty and ugly and dirty either, there's two sides to any story. i still remember seeing a woman's face bloodied by three thugs from the local local for merely protesting a politician they liked. but we digress, perhaps we can attempt to stay on shoes. i've never seen vegan footwear out of earth shoes today, only the leather stuff. i in fact bought a pair of very comfy vegan things at this very retailer today, which also had leather-free men's dress shoes, something i one wrongly thought would be impossible to find. you could of course as easily search kmart or any similar lower-end retailer. just look for the " all man-made materials " tag under the tongue. when i went vegan i probably phased out or ditched close to a dozen pairs of footwear, and i've now replaced everything from two dress pair to walkers to hiking boots. it can indeed be done. , The Stewarts <stews9@c...> wrote: > Boycott WalMart. > > Unfair labor practices, coercion, and out-right crimes to keep workers > from organizing are only the tip of the bloody iceberg with this sick, > twisted, evil corporation. > > > On Thursday, August 12, 2004, at 08:18 AM, (AT) (DOT) > com wrote: > > > Message: 18 > > Thu, 12 Aug 2004 05:24:17 -0700 (PDT) > > reptile grrl <reptilegoddess> > > Re: Earth shoes, just wondered if others > > > > Wal-Mart bought the Earth Shoes franchise years ago.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Thanks to all of you who responded with information. I had no idea about the pro athletic shoes so will start looking for the right walking shoe for me. I am a Senior walker, by no means an athlete but I sure like the idea of a light weight non leather shoe. Deanna in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
