Hello Larry,

I made a concerted effort to find the vegan shoe brands that avoided PVC type products that aren’t breathable and wouldn’t hold up. I focused on innovative materials that were breathable from established companies who were well regarded. Of course vegan might not act exactly like leather, even with companies such as Timberland and Doc Marten. I would like to know if you have tried any of these brands and had negative experiences and what went wrong.

In reply to Larry Brooks. You can't expect vegan leather (which is basically rubber) to perform like real leather. It sounds like you're looking for a real leather shoe. Vegans aren't buying vegan shoes because they're technically better. They're buying them because they're vegan.

My big complaint is that you seem to be more interested in Style and getting people to Buy vegan shoes than “What’s a GOOD, well-made vegan shoe? The best ones out there.” I cannot tell you how many bad reviews I have read on vegan shoes across many different websites! Vegan shoes don’t come across very well. And the complaints are always: The shoe doesn’t breathe – it feels hot to wear. Or this shoe is cheaply made and fell apart soon after I bought them. Or It has a chemical smell. Or it is hard and doesn’t flex with my feet. And finally – the shoe scuffs easily and no shoes dye or polish can get rid of the scuff marks.
Could you PLEASE start reviewing the various brands of vegan shoes and tell us which ones are the Best and meet all the criteria I mentioned above? Yes I want vegan shoes – but I do not want to waste my money on poorly made things …. Just Because They are Vegan. As the writer here – well, I think you should do a True comparison of the many brands to tell us which ones are truly, actually, really a DECENT pair of shoes. Just being vegan isn’t enough, you know.
