shoes

now that i am the owner of a 3V card, i can shop on the net. so please direct me to the best websites for the purchase of veggie shoes- ones that are reliable and have normal sizes (ie-don't call a size 4 a 7 etc etc.)

i warn you that the sizes on www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk are dodgy.... you don't get what you want sometimes because some are a half size big etc... though my friend was lucky and got a perfect pair. plus, they are slow at getting back to you via email.. when it matters most!

Is there any place in Dublin that sells a reasonable range of shoes not made from leather? I would rather not make a purchase over the internet.

googled vegan shoes on the web and nothing jumped out at me. there is a shoe company very like mbt's that do vegan shoes. their website is www.lovethoseshoes.com

Samos- there is no specific shop in Ireland that sells them! as far as i know. you just have to check the sticker, and that doent even cover the glue.

i have, at the moment, a couple of pairs of canvasy shoes, a pair of strappys, and one fantastic pair of plain black boots that i was lucky enough to find in Dunnes 2years ago. they're all getting a little tattered, particularly my beloved boots- i need somewhere to replenish my supply.

Has anyone had any experiance with online sites? i'd like to go somewhere i've heard decent things about...

I hear they now sell hemp shoes in Dublin. \o/

I haven't actually used these guys but I've been drooling over their shoes, they have some fab designs. I reckon they're probably pricey, but they're worth a look! www.beyondskin.co.uk

i guess you just gotta keep your eyes on the label. plenty of clothes shops like dorithy perkins and new look have nice black evening shoes without leather... you just have to keep searching for the labels!

i do look at the stickers. but theres no way to tell if the glue is animal based or not. i have had to make do with just making sure the shoes arent leather, but now id like to exclude animal glue

I bought shoes from www.veganessentials.com before and i'm very happy with them. They're american so make sure you get the sizes right!

Vegan shoes made out of recycled materials for sale in the Buddah Bag shop off Millenium Walkway, opposite the Millenium Bridge on the North Side. They do a really good version of a basic Converse, apparently.
