I'm searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven't had them for years because I couldn't find any cool-looking.
Isn't Vegan Leather just a fancy name for plastic?
It depends, I think the marketing has recently shifted to putting the word vegan in a bunch of things in the hopes that it would get more sales. The cheaper stuff seems to be plastic, but some of the higher quality stuff seems to use better materials. There's more people buying the cheaper stuff so that's what comes up when you search for "vegan leather" these days
Isn't the quality stuff still just plastic and rubbers? Just a better kind for the job? Or are there other durable organics that do the truck 🤔
Apparently people are saying the mushroom leather is good. I personally don't have or want leather/leather-like stuff, so I could be out of date or wrong, but I remember there was leather made from plants that was offered as being premium and durable.
Edit: here's some examples, I'm not sure if how they all rack up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_leather

I have boots from here and they're great (I personally got the WVSport Insulated Waterproof Hiking Boots, but they also have other types of boots):

Thanks for recommending them again! Seems like they are very likeable xD
Will's Vegan Store has great color options for dock boots as well as an option for insulated boots for winter. I have the blue dock non-insulated and love them. I haven't had issue with them or anything else that I've ordered from the website.
Highly recommend the WVS Dock boots. Have them a few years already and they still look like new!
Right!? Seems like a good option
What about these: https://www.nae-vegan.com/en/unisex/shoes/boots_702-656.html
I bought a pair of etnas last year and I like?them a lot, comfortable, warm, non-slip most of the time.
If you need steel toe boots you choose from the selection of STC.
Why is one of their styles called Trump?
Probably because it can also mean triumphant
Fair enough, I would have to look into the company to see when they opened. I'd just be a bit worried if they opened after 2016
I’m not sure, it sounds cool unlike that republican lol
My partner has had these ones for a while and they're stills going strong. https://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/all_products/travis_boot_tan/18431_p.html
