Which pretty much defines hypocrisy.
Right. Because morality is a rigid, one-dimensional, absolutist system.

Which pretty much defines hypocrisy.
Crocs is coming out with a new line of dress shoes for the holidays.
Generally I find most vegan footwear to look clunky and contrived. I recently was recommended to this site by a client at work and the problem was immediately solved. I haven't found any company who has been on par with the asthetic and craftsmanship of these yet.
What are these shoes made from? I e-mailed them but they would only tell me that the material is man-made and it is vegan approved. But that tells me nothing about the performance or feel of the material.
Not necessarily true, but I'm not a leather maker. Someone in the trade should comment.
I don't know if you want to thank me, but if you really want a non-animal leather substitute in a bespoke shoe and have lots of money to spend, then there is: human leather. Yes, that's right. Human leather. It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. While I'm guessing this group usually caters to exorbitantly wealthy people with macabre fetishes, it does put the human in humane leather. If nothing else, it is an morbidly intriguing idea.
Translation: I'm a girl.
Are you serious! That's great! I just started working at a makeup factory, I am running around the whole day or standing on my feet for long hours. I am looking for comfy shoes, I really like the comfort of crocs their amazing, they do wonders for your feet but I really dislike the way they look but, if their coming out with dress shoes or any other type of shoes that don't look like the original crocs, I am definitely buying those. I wonder how much they'll cost.

I agree with all the comments about synthetics being very bad for the environment, doing what you can where you can, and buying used shoes that will last. I feel like an ass for leaving the ecologically responsible bit out of my OP, but I felt it was getting a bit long and decided to leave that out. It is a large concern for me, however I felt that once you have a material you can find a source for it that is ecologically friendly (as much so as plastics or synthetic materials can be - and probably as much so as the typical leather products given the chemicals used for their treatment/tanning and lack of biodegradability). I guess I will just continue on with looking for the right waxed canvas shoe. Does any one have ideas on shoemakers that (would) work with waxed canvas?
I'm confused by this "shell cordovans are a by-product," and therefore ethical for vegans, idea.
It's too bad this isn't a real site because I am now REALLY interested to see what a wallet made out of human skin would look like.
Ha, it was a bit of half-hearted trolling on my part, but from what I've heard it looks like pigskin when treated. I've seen cadaver skin, and it's none too pretty, but maybe with some TLC and a fine knife it could look passable.
