Vegetarian Shoes

I'm a vegetarian and finding nice stylish shoes can be difficult, so I wa spleased to discover Bourgeoise Boheme a while back.

I've recently bought two new pairs of shoes from them and they are so comfortable and stylish.

It's great to know that no animal has suffered in the production of the shoes. Sometimes people say that the leather is just a by-product of the meat industry and the animals aren't killed for the leather. But, by wearing leather, you make the sale of meat more economic and cheaper.

If you think veggie shoes are dull and sweaty to wear check out this site and see what you can find.

Nice to see that the site is also doing fairly traded trainers:

Ethletic Trainer White: Fair trade trainers witha cotton upper and rubber sole. The rubber forthe sole is certified Forest Stewardship Council- sourced from sustainable forests in Sri Lanka and the accredited FSC mark is engraved onthe soles of each pair. A fair trade premium is paid for the rubber and manufacture of the shoes. Available in black too and a high top too. £35
