Hey all! After countless sneakers going bad on me, I'm trying to look inside of the vast world of vegan boots. Do you know of any brands and their quality? Right now I'm looking mostly at:

  • Nae Vegan, based in Portugal
  • Vegetarian Shoes, based in UK
  • Vegan Shoes Italy, based in.. Italy (lol)

All these have decent-looking options, but I can't find much info online about quality. Any tips appreciated!

Are yours still reasonably presentable? I’ve had a two pairs of vaporgloves and they both got this sort of “hairy” texture on the uppers really quickly just with regular use running errands and commuting and such. I think it’s the sort of plastic mesh material they use that is breaking down. They’re still functional for camping or jogging but I wouldn’t wear them to the bar.

My Ahinsas on the other hand still look -nice- with no separation of the uppers from the soles and virtually no fading 5 years after purchase, 3 of which they were my daily wears. Now the inner lining is breaking down and feels weird without thick socks but they still look great!
