Green Shoes

Hi

using leather is very bad as often the leather is the most valuable part of the animal and it takes many times more food to feed an animal - to feed a human
I know alot of people think using leather is ok as they think its a bi product but this is not the case

using alternatives helps the planet and saves the animals, cuts down on the amount of water and feed used - that could feed humans directly.

Alot of the alternatives are actually stronger and more durable than leather
as my hikers have lasted 3 years despite being hammerd every weekend

there are lots of great green shoe retailers on line
