UK Vegan boots

[Se7en]

Hi,

I'm on the hunt for some synthetic/vegan knee high boots in black for the winter but I have freakishly skinny legs (calf at widest is only 30cm). Any boots I've found that specialise in boots for skinny legs all seem to be real leather :-(

Has anyone with a similar issue had any luck?

TIA!

Back in the day, the only boots (or shoes) that were vegan and decent were Doc Martens.
IMHO they are pretty ugly but back then they were almost a status symbol among vegans - especially the males.
I think they are even a UK brand.
Today they have a whole bunch of different styles you can check on.

We also have discussed this at the VF before.
check out these links.

the socks discussion also includes info on boots.

did a little of my own research and I found this one. I'm thinking Scarlet Witch.

I am also looking for winter boots. I have a pair of Doc Martens Vegans but the grip is not as good as I would like and they are not as warm as I would like, because it gets really cold here. I found these but in the store the label implied synthetic wool, but on the website it reads wool.

Maybe I will e-mail them

EDIT: I have e-mailed them and they did not confirm any of their boots are vegan

So, there is a store I just learned of today called Call It Spring Call It Spring | Call It Spring Canada and they have their own line of vegan and PETA approved boots, shoes, handbags, etc. It's a very suburban-mall North American style boutique, and it is owned by Aldo, which is a large Canadian shoe company that produces very stylish but sometimes not-so-high-quality shoes, boots, etc.

I bought a nice pair of warm vegan winter boots from them today and am trying them out inside as I decide if I will bring them back for a more rugged pair.

There are admittedly lots of vegan boots available online, but I have tried that before and I find shoe shopping online to be unreasonable as fit is too chancy to get right or wrong.

I also looked through Canadian Tire winter boots for men and some of them seem to be 100% vegan without it being used as a marketing tool. Unfortunately the closer Canadian Tire to me did not have my size. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/...-snow-boots-waterproof-warm-1872935p.html#srp some of these Canadian Tire ones are very ironic because they seem to be vegan but also are marketed as hunting boots.

Perhaps marketing as vegan turns some types of prospective buyers off. Interesting.
