Non-leather shoe material?
There are many options for non-leather boots. What I recommend depends on what kind of boots you want and how much you want to pay.





A vegan friend of mine who works in a warehouse doing manual labor swears by Payless Shoes for his work boots. You can probably also find boots like this at Target, WalMart, or other discount retailers.





If you want to pay a little more for something that may last longer, you can look at a variety of hiking boots. Many athletic and outdoors shoes/boots are being made out of microfiber or other synthetic leathers because they are lighter and more durable. I found a very nice pair of non-leather hiking/backpacking boots from Lowa. They are the Vertex GTX boot, made of microfiber, nylon, and goretex. They%26#039;re fantastic boots, but they were pretty pricy ($225). However, I expect them to last for years of hiking and backpacking.





Of course, there will be boots that fall between these price extremes. Check out the sources I listed below for some online retailers.
