So now that I have the lovely Meat-Industry blog out of the way...onto something a little more upbeat.....BOOTS!!!
I have a boot Obsession. No questions asked. Shoes not so much, but Boots make my heart flutter ♥♥.
But let's face it, the majority of boots out there are made out of dead animal hides and are generally the very opposite of eco-friendly. So what does the Vegan & Eco-Conscious Lady do? Search online.
First let's get one thing straight. All you Vegan Babes out there who refuse to be cruel to animals but then go on to buy PVC & Plastic Footwear...well I shake my head. If you're going to be against cruelty to animals then it doesn't make sense to be cruel to our Planet either. After all, without our planet where would the cute animals live? ~_^
Many other alternatives exist. But Vinyl and other plastics are just AWEFUL AWEFUL AWEFUL for our planet!!!! So pay attention to what your Vegan Footwear is made out of when purchasing.
So, Plastic iz bad. Got it? Good ~_^
Now that that is out of the way, there are MANY other eco-friendly options for the Animal-Friendly Boot-Lover in all of us ^_^.
I have been looking around the web for some time and found these goodies to share with you....
MOOSHOES for one is just an AWESOME awesome website for Vegan Goodies in general and has many many Boots (and shoes) to choose from ^_^.
A favorite of mine are the "Brighton Boot from Earth Shoes" I own a pair myself and am completely in Love ♥!!

The customer service was EXCEPTIONAL as well!!! Super friendly and shipped out my boots pretty quick which was nice. So very happy with the purchase and with the service so I definitely Highly recommend the site! And if you're lucky enough to live in New York then you can check them out in person on Orchard Street!!!
I also recently discovered they have a taller boot as well ^_^ called the Earth Newton Boots

Alas they seem to be sold out everywheeeerrrre! :(
Still they rock! They are made of hemp and the inside is organic cotton. And if that wasn't good enough for you, welllll then; the buttons are coconut and the soles are made of recycled car tires and bamboo!! All this eco-friendly goodness jam-packed into one kick-ass Boot!!! ^_^
These next two pairs of Boots are just Adorable! ^_^ They aren't organic or particularly eco-friendly but at least they're not Plastic :p and they're still Vegan. ♥

These adorable fabric Boots have a faux-wool knitted upper that you can wear tall or scrunched down. Cozy warm but don't get them wet...as they are fabric ~_^

ReplyDeleteI love boots too! I have been trying to stock up for the fall and found some great boots at Vegan Chic http://www.veganchic.com. They have a great selection and everything is 100% vegan. Oh, and I could not resist fawning over their handbags for awhile. SIGH.
ReplyDeleteSweet, thanks for adding this link :) I will check it out for sure!
