Aren't most cheap shoes vegan? It didn't occur to me this is something I have to watch out for
There are a lot of leather shoes. :)
How mqny cheap shoes are made of real leather?
It's possible, and if finances are a struggle you just kind of have to make your best guess in some cases, or buy used. Most of the time when shoes have leather, they advertise it pretty boldly, so that helps. Still, you never know - for example, what are the adhesives made out of? That's why vegan certifications are important, a lot of things can be easily hidden, and a lot of companies aren't particularly clear on their use of animal products even when reached out to directly.
Going vegan means learning to have to put everything under a microscope. The word 'vystopia' exists for good reason.
No. Instead, it implies that eating this shoe is better for your health than eating a non-vegan one.
Do we have a term for individuals that refrain from eating shoes? Because vegan shoe or not, I identify as a person who doesn't eat shoes.
Alt: wool lined moccasin
Vegan "leather" is made of plastic. Plastic is a by product of the oil industry. Oil is made out of dinosaurs. Plastic is not vegan.
Take THAT PeTA!
Also huge eye rolling and /s
Ackschully oil is made from plant matter, not dinosorus 🤓
You seen those alligator skin cowboy boots? Thems carnivore shoes
Now I can eat shoes without feeling guilty.
Many shoes contain leather or wool or something. Vegan isn't just about food
I know right, I'm surprised there are so many people here who don't appear to get that. If I look at the image I assume the seller of this pair of shoes just slapped a buzzword on but vegan shoes and clothing are a thing and since when is everything that is not vegan carnivorous? Cheese and honey are also neither, right.
Jokes like this aren't to imply that there are only two options. It also implies the existence of pescatarian shoes for example. The joke is that you apply other related terms to the situation, usually the most absurd of them. In this case carnivorous was probably chosen for the implication that the shoes themselves are carnivorous and would eat you if you wore them.
In that case I just didn't get the joke because a meat-eating shoe would make a good joke
I am pretty sure that called leather
Vegan aka Synthetics. It's just a fuckin buzzword.
Now if it was Oil and Animal free It would kinda cool.
No, vegan aka not made with shitty glue made of animal bones. It is not just a buzzword.
Hey horse Jesus died for our glue ...
I have shoes that is printed from algae, they are vegan and synthetic free
Which company? I'm interested in seeing what they got because that's pretty sick, i doubt they are sketchers though 😂
They are called vivo barefoot
That is actually really cool.
Yeah this is just plastic washing.
Shit it even says it right there "machine washable"
Something tells me the label "Plastic" wouldn't sell as well.
Vegans avoid animal products outside food too?
Yes.
Sorry didn't mean it as an actual question. More an incredulous tone
