Plastic Shoes: What Say You?
I love these shoes:
…and they’re only $42, because they’re plastic. Or as vinyl is now know, “vegan leather.” Ha ha ha ha ha. Vegan leather: The tofurkey of footwear.
I’m no vegan, so I don’t have a political or conscientious reason to not wear leather. And I generally don’t care for plastic shoes. I don’t like the way they last (they don’t), I don’t like the way they look (like plastic). So I won’t be buying these cuties. Of course, I don’t insist that animals die for my shoes: Straw or fabric/canvas works fine for me. If I were vegan, that’s how I would roll.
Where do you come down on pleather shoes?
(and marketing world, please stop trying to make “vegan leather” happen)
Vegan, perhaps — but they make your feet smell like rotting meat.
I opened this link thinking, “Plastic shoes? No way, gross, not, no.” But those are cute. And, yes, as Erika pointed out, do they resolve the wick-less problem? How quickly you turn me around to “Maybe, someday.”
