We got yr vegetarian shoes right here
Okay, enough about the top of the body (for today, anyhow). Let's give the bottom of the body some attention. Here we find the same conundrum: that the shoes are cow-friendly doesn't mean they're cruelty-free. Fortunately, here you don't have to pick - you can get a super range of flats and sandals and high heels from VeganStore for a very modest £29.99. Sneakers start at £35. Organic hemp trainers go for £53. And, could it be? Why yes, I did find kitten heel mules for £19.99. Ladies, we've got no excuse for impure closets. And for the gentlemen?
The men's shoes start a bit higher, at £34.99, but heck, £34.99 for an Italian dress shoe doesn't sound bad to begin with - throw in that it's vegan and I don't know why they have any left in stock. Slippers start at £19.99 for a basic grey thermal fleece. The top end for men is £74.95 for the No Bull Savage Boot, with a Puratex water resistant lining, Black Lorica upper and padded footbed. Given you can spend 75 quid on hiking boots without trying very hard, if you can get a vegan and cruelty free pair instead for the same cash, that's where everybody wins.

http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/ have a bigger range than that store, including some really well designed, original shoes (this is a particular favourite of mine: http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/pc-81-6-armadillo-shoe.aspx ). I've been buying all my trainers/shoes from them for the past 6 years or so, and would heartily recommend them.
