Casual vegetarian ankle boots
I’m not really a fan of Ugg boots and the other slipper-like fabric boots that have become so popular over the last few years. Sure, some of them are indeed vegan, but if I wanted a pair of slippers, I’d buy a pair of actual slippers. They’re really more suited for wearing around the house. Talk about how to instantly dress down any outfit to make it look like your PJs.
These boots here, on the other hand, while definitely of the “comfortable shoes” ethos are actually pretty neat. They come from this green footwear company, Simple Shoes, who are apparently very ethical and enviro-friendly and all. They have a 100% vegan range, but these particular boots are not part of it – they are vegetarian boots. The reason they are not vegan is that the hemp they are made of is treated with beeswax.
The price is a bit steep at 115 UKP. For thar price, I’d expect to get a LOT of wear out of them, which I guess is possible, if your personal style is pretty casual and the shoes are as durable and comfortable as they claim to be. Even with that in mind, I’m wondering whether my 115 quid would be paying for my ticket to ride the green bandwagon, rather than merely for comfort and sustainability alone.
You can get these boots at Simple shoes.
