Vegan shoes: a commitment to the future of the environment
Vegan shoes, what are they? A passing fashion or a real commitment to the future of the environment?
Vegan shoes
Perhaps you are imagining a product made from paper, rags and plastic that is sold at crazy prices.
You are probably also thinking about a very low quality shoe, due to the materials used.
We try to better explain what vegan shoes are; they are shoes made without using materials of animal origin. This means that they are not made of leather, there is no leather and there are no animal-like fabrics like silk or wool. In addition, dyes must also be strictly cruelty-free, meaning that no material used to make the shoe must come from an animal.
Easy?
Yes, the concept is simple.
Vegan shoes are much more complex. You will be at this point asking: why?
In order to protect the consumer, specific certifications have been created that guarantee that the vegan shoes are truly 100% and that they are made with 100% cruelty-free procedures.
It is not correct to think that vegan shoes are made of plastic and cardboard, and are sold at high prices to deceive vegan consumers.
Vegan shoes are not shoes of low quality, just stop to read the composition of vegan shoes to understand that there are many innovative materials, born after years of specific research, which beyond to be aesthetically pleasing they are also comfortable for the foot.
The vegan consumer, moreover, is not a naive buyer who buys at random products that silence his sense of guilt and his curiosity, but he is generally a very knowledgeable and attentive, used to asking, asking questions to really understand what's in front of you.
Now you are wondering if vegan shoes are a niche product, intended exclusively for vegans. The answer is no, no need to be vegan to justify the purchase of a vegan shoe.
Are vegan shoes all eco-friendly?
No, not all vegan shoes are also eco-friendly and "environmentally friendly", but in fact many are because companies that specialize in this type of production do not just choose to protect animals and then pollute rivers and oceans with dyes and plastic materials, but work to make the entire production chain as clean as possible.
It is not easy for a manufacturer to make this choice and it is also uneconomical.
Making leather shoes has an impact on the environment in which we live and where our children will live, choosing a vegan shoe means giving a gift to our children and grandchildren, to guarantee them a less polluted land.
