Vegetarian Shoes Ltd (Vegan Footwear since 1990)

"I have had a pair of bush boots from Vegetarian shoes for 4 years, and they are probably the most comfortable shoes I have owned for a long time. Sadly, the uppers are not as long lasting as the soles (hence the loss of 1star - these shoes are not cheap) and the "suede" is really tatty now, so much so that my partner says they cannot be worn any longer (I will!). One word of warning; I have bought a new pair, and they do need a lot of breaking in. Really tight and unforgiving when you first put them on. I suggest you use the as slippers around the house for the first few weeks...."

"I use to be addicted to their snugge boot. They were super comfortable and lasted a very long time. My last pair lasted for almost 4 years with no noticeable changes in comfort or tear. But I bought two new pairs (grey and brown) last summer and started wearing them this winter and I am not impressed. They must of changed their model. The seam is tearing off from the boot and the rubber seam rips very easily. Unfortunately, not a good quality book anymore. It's too bad they changed the snugge boot materials. :("

"I love this shop and I love the shoes and boots even more!, I've had SO many pairs of boots, shoes and trainers from here over the years and they really last. They are worth the extra money as they are ethical and they are definitely a worthwhile investment."

"Edit: The reseller has agreed to exchange the boots for me. I am happy with this solution but I still cannot recommend the Approach Mid from my experience. Original post: I bought the Approach Mid from a reseller in November. I have worn them 10 times. The last 2 times, my feet become completely soaked under light rain conditions. I understand the difference between waterproof and water resistant but both the reseller and veg. shoes keep insisting they are only water resistant. These boots are NOT water resistant, or the pair I have is faulty. Furthermore, these 2 incidents of water have caused significant wear to the material and bleeding of the color. This is terrible quality for 180€."

"It was refreshing to be able to walk into a shop and know that all the shoes were ethical, I didn’t need to read the labels! There was a decent amount of choice. Staff were on hand to answer questions and help out. I opted for some boots on the ‘broken biscuits’ rack. They were £75 reduced from £84.95."
