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.

    Isn’t the quality stuff still just plastic and rubbers? Just a better kind for the job? Or are there other durable organics that do the truck 🤔

        I think it’s important to note here that many plant-based leathers still contain some amounts of petroleum-based plastics. This may change in the future, but at the moment many leather alternatives are still not 100% sustainable (it’s questionable whether animal leather is, though).

        Vegan leathers that don’t contain plastics often also look and feel more distinct from real leather (e.g. cork or teak leaves).
