Vegan Boots
Vegan Boots
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.

Source on these claims? Leather production isn't exactly easy on the environment, nor the health of (typically third-world country) workers involved in the process.
Personally I've been wearing the same pair of synthetic leather boots to my job which has me walk ~20k steps a day for 5 years now, and the only part of the shoe showing signs of wear is the rubber sole, which I had to glue back on.

I can't believe how much people arguing with the premise of the question has ruined this thread.

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.

True. I can't imagine a material that is more horrific than skin that isn't yours

Weird. I couldn’t imagine wasting a good hide on nothing.

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.

very nice! Thanks for sharing! Stylish, one customer said they are not for hiking tho which I wanted to buy them for. I go for walks with my dog a lot. But again, thanks for sharing and I'll take them into consideration :)

If you need steel toe boots you choose from the selection of STC.

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

Thanks for the tip! Sadly, too small. I need 41 or better 41 1/2 :)

Depends where you are, Mr. Posting-from-lemmy-dot-world. There's a shop in Amsterdam where I bought vegan work shoes with the steel toes, cushioning etc two years ago, still going strong through various kitchen jobs. These are the ones actually: https://www.vega-life.nl/i/vegan-werkschoenen-en-vegan-veiligheidsschoenen/eco-vegan-shoes-easy-walker-advanced-swiss-fabric-safety-s3-src-jeans
I have a pair of the vegan Dr. Marten's but honestly they take a while to dry out after heavy rain, otherwise they're spot on.
-
https://www.avesuveganshoes.com/ also has a big selection
-
I also found these as another example but they are a little high

Hey, why didnt I get a notification about why my comment was deleted?

You can check the modlog of any community on lemmy. It's the green button by the community sidebar. It shows who, when, and why, when something gets removed.
The button should be by the member / post counts

Thank you, this helped me find it.

I think I found some good looking ones :D

Not exactly the same color but it's the look not the exact color I was looking for ;) I'm still open for other suggestions and maybe someone else benefits from suggestions as well :)

Isn't Vegan Leather just a fancy name for plastic?
He's thinking of polyurethane leather which got rebranded from PU leather to vegan.
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
Even plastic is better for the environment than leather.
