Year of the Boot

This year has brought many stylish, sophisticated and sleek vegan boots for us dudes. Now, Vegetarian Shoes UK has seriously kicked their kicks up a notch. Us Discerning Brutes are drooling over their brand-new “Vintage Boot” made from a “raw” version of their supple and soft-to-touch Vegetan Bucky. The boots are gray with an antique finish, cap toe detail, gunmetal eyelets, and hard resin soles. Yes, please – more like this!

This boot is perfect for inserting into the rear of the leather industry. After all, who needs the toxic, livestock-dependent, #1 cause of greenhouse gas-emitting, nasty, ugly, leather industry when there are such handsome alternatives?

Capstone Classic Laceups

This incredible, new “Leo” boot from Novacas is a landmark in mens’ vegan shoes. This is what we’ve been waiting for! A simple, classic lace up boot that looks great casually half-laced with a pair of fitted jeans, or laced up completely under slacks. Thanks for setting a new standard, Novacas! Thanks to reader, Adnan for the tip!

Available at Moo Shoes for $159

The French line, April77 collaborated on some vegan cowboy boots with YMC – and these faux-suede and faux-leather-soled bad boys are only for the good guys. The Cowboy Boots are the first in a long line of cruelty-free shoes coming from April77. The designer Brice Partouche, is vegan. More recently from the collection are these awesome Buck Shoes that come in black, tan, and navy. If you are in Paris, you can purchase these shoes at the April77 flagship store. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until the April77 Market is launched (they tell us SOON!)
