What Are Vegan Shoes Made From There can be a range of materials increasingly being used to make vegan shoes, some of which provide great quality and long wearing shoes, others which target the organic nature from the materials but can be a bit less durable, yet still others that manage a good mix of both of these attributes. Perhaps first we can have a look at what materials ought to be avoided. It goes without saying that animal products like leather are not going to appear here (even without considering the disturbing environmental impact in the tanning process and glues useful for example). But how about the leather substitute materials which were used in cheaper shoes for many decades? Vinyl one thinks of. This is derived from petrochemicals and in all likelihood raises as numerous issues since it solves, specifically if you are interested in vegan shoes for environmental reasons (raising animals on the scale we all do these days is actually comparatively disastrous to the environment'). The same thing refers to most rubber compounds. Good products to appear out for from your vegan/environmental viewpoint include natural items like cotton (although that does make use of a lot of water to cultivate), cork, hemp (no, this can't be further recycled when the shoes degrade), canvas and in many cases bamboo. There are also very good water based glues available, so consider those in your shoes. A combination of these products can produce great shoes. Man made materials that are not as awful as vinyl include various microfibers including polyamide and polyurethane. Some vegan shoe manufacturers have gone a measure further and recycled materials for shoes. This brings recycling of rubber in the equation. The inner tubes of tyres really are a popular material. There is even a producer that recycles polyester from discarded tv's. Recycling also means the shoes don't find themselves in landfill, making use of their chemical components slowly leaching to the soil. (Consider giving your shoes to op shops instead of putting them in the bin). Using a blend of microfibers, recycled materials and natural materials means there's a wide selection of products well suited for making vegan shoes with and after that it all is dependant on the design and exactly how the materials are put together. The other thing to look out for is fair-trade. If these shoes are made in fair-trade factories then your workers should be getting a fair deal in the manufacturer. If they are manufactured in invisible sweat shops somewhere in Asia then perhaps you need to reconsider purchasing. After all, cruelty or unfair working conditions for humans continues to be cruelty to animals. So, in case you don't want to be a vegan from a food standpoint, you can still perform a lot for the environment as well as for animals by changing over to vegan shoes. Go on, you understand you want to! |
