What shoe wear material do vegans purchase?!
I also check on company's websites. I was delighted to learn that my Demonia boots are 100% man made material, though they look so much like leather that when I bought them I guiltily suspected they were leather... it was only when I checked later that I saw they weren't. It is cheaper to use man made materials and I find that it is almost impossible to tell sometimes.
I also have a pair of winter boots that look like they are suede but they are actually mock suede (fake, basically), with faux trim and completely 100% man made. I checked on the JC Penney's website before I went to the store to see which shoes were vegan...
I also have really cute patent-leather looking ankle boots that were less than 20 dollars because they are 100% man made material. That was from Payless.
Once you actually start looking you'd be surprised how much is actually vegan after all. I think people that order 120 dollar vegan shoes offline are suckers, because lots of the shoes out there in every day stores ARE vegan.
Answers: There are plenty of animal-free shoes out there. Most of the shoes you find in stores like Payless Shoe Source for instance are vegan. I typically read the tag in the shoe (they would say 100% man made material, or they will specify "leather upper" or something).

interesting.....
probably those jelly shoes from the 80's!
i think if they wear normal shoes they cant consider themselves vegans...almost everything is made from a cow!
nylon
hemp sandals?????
Man made fibres see below, they are cool

You have a lot more options than you think you do.
Just search the web for vegan footwear.
Canvas, nylon...
I'd guess canvas and/or plastic weaves (nylon, etc.)
obviously not leather...
i live in northern minnesota and get a good laugh out of all the vegan tree/bunny huggers walking around in steger mucklucks made out of moose hide....the moose must have had donor cards on them...
hemp and recycled material
