Hi,

Sorry about doubleposting, but I'm in a hurry (and very lazy).

I'm a newbie U.S. vegan whose last leather shoes have finally sprung a
leak, so I'm looking for:

1. a pair of lightweight, waterproof boots, primarily for all-weather
walking

2. a pair of waterproof walking shoes

I Googled, but only found fairly expensive boots/shoes and was unable to
come up with the magical search terms to get me what I want, even on
Froogle.

I'd prefer U.S. made, but definitely not Chinese or any likely-to-be-a-
sweatshop sources.

I have an *extremely* limited budget ($220 plus, of which only only $120
is, more-or-less, disposable and $130 in food stamps), so please,
nothing outrageous.

Thanks for your help,
Neill

Hi Neil,
I found you a good deal on a pair of New Balance walking shoes. check the
link.
http://www.nbwebexpress.com/detail.a...&style=MW810BK

As for boots, what exacty are you looking for. Winter boots for warmth or
sturdy hiking boots? With your limited buget, I'd suggest Playless
http://www.payless.com/ but you don't want anything made in Asia.

Have you tried the Thrift shops? You might wind up with leather but it in
the after market your not adding to the harm that has been already been
done.

Hope I helped. -nancy-

I wear mostly Sacouny Running Shoes, which are all man made materials.
Also, I have orthodics made, definately all man made materials.

It's remarkable what can be made from crude oil these days. Where would we
be without those wonderful oil companies eh?

And of course that's also where most inorganic fertiliser comes from,
rather than that awful animal dung they used to use to grow crops.

Good old oil and veganism eh. It's a wonderful life, though clearly not
one that any god intended.

Of course you could always use leather from animals that weren't killed
either for food or leather. India has a good supply of leather from such
animals and employment in making shoes and boots provides much needed
income for their poorer citizen. But then why would godless vegans care
about such things?

Thanks anyway, folks. You gave me lots of good options, but the least
expensive pair of shoes would cost about $60, which would mean I'd have
to go without luxuries like heat and shelter or the ability to take the
bus to activities. ;-)

Scruples are expensive, ain't they? Many people have questioned my
sanity (lol...already imperiled) for trying to live according to my
beliefs on a sub-subsistence budget.

Sometimes I have to agree with them.

Thanks,
Neill

Don't you just love sarcasm and self-righteousness...the lonely, put-
upon voice crying out in the wilderness? Makes you want to re-examine
your life and make those changes, right after you toss a brick at the
self-important clod.

Did you ever stop to consider that your style of discourse alienates
people from *anything* you might have to say? Making personal attacks,
either one-by-one or corporately, really diminishes only you.

....and no, they don't MAKE you do it, or do they really have so much
power over you?

==================
Thanks for proving, yet again, that you cannot defend vegaism, nor refute
what I say, killer.


Now, go have that nice blood-drenched dinner, hypocrite.

We don't know what kind of processes they use. I just happen to chose
one that is stamped all man made materials. It's impossible to be a
perfect vegan in our world, which is why I choose to use the word
veganish.

As you wish. For me, if it looks like a vegan, and quacks like a vegan -
it's a vegan.

As you wish. For me, if it looks like a vegan, and quacks like a vegan -

I would like some non-leather shoes also. My favourite shoes have
thin flexible soles and don't look all futuristic and stuff. I like
simple wrestlingesk shoes. Anyone have any tips?

I always see either new balance or boots.

Here's a sentence for the people that hate helping people and just
want to argue: I've never seen a walking shoe without world crushing
petroleum crap.

If you want to permanently eliminate your impact on the planet why not just
put a bullet through your head?

So not only are you a lazy slug, but you're a welfare chiseler as well.
