"A treat for your feet if you don't eat meat"

When I first turned vegan in 1994 (there was a period of darkness in my life when I returned to being vegetarian but that's already more than half a decade behind me now) it was quite a challenge to put together a nice vegan breakfast and that wasn't only due to financial restrictions. Becoming a vegan in the little shithole village I grew up in wasn't really the easiest choice. Even for my soy-milk I had to make the trip into the next city but buying in bulks was out of the question mainly because of limitations caused by the method of transportation i.e. going by train. Nowadays you can get that stuff in every supermarket all over the place next to a slew of other vegan products.

So things - luckily - have changed quite a bit. Yet we still have to face a similar problem: Footwear! Leather is still all over the place and if you're trying to go for a hundred percent there's still the question of what glue was used to hold your canvas sneaker together. Not to talk about other shoes than your average sneaker. Especially now in the cold most vegans I know feel that problem.... well... feet first haha

Although I know about vegan shoe stores they're still extremely rare and honestly speaking don't offer too many good looking shoes if any. Now that might be just me being picky as always but if you know what I'm talking about and are in dire need of good vegan shoes here are a few online sources that combined give you a range of choice no vegan shoe store can afford to have readily available. Maybe you'll get lucky. Fancy vegan shoes can only up your chances if you catch my drift. Hahaha

I know there are probably more sources available but these are the ones I know of. Feel free to add more in the comments section.
