Now that the weather is turning colder, perhaps you’re searching or mens vegan boots. I know from experience finding vegan shoes can be a bit tricky.
I’ve been vegan since 2008, though I stopped wearing leather much earlier (as a lifelong vegetarian, once I discovered where leather came from, I didn’t want to wear it anymore).
Unfortunately most major retailers don’t label their vegan shoes (though you can use this guide to symbols to try to work it out). It’s often easiest to find mens vegan shoes online for that reason!
