Vegan “leather” is made of plastic. Plastic is a by product of the oil industry. Oil is made out of dinosaurs. Plastic is not vegan.
Take THAT PeTA!
Also huge eye rolling and /s
Ackschully oil is made from plant matter, not dinosorus 🤓
Algae and Plankton technically, though some of those plankton (Zooplankton) are animals, not plants, they’re all mixed together and baked under high pressure, no way to separate the zooplankton from the phytoplankton.
Many shoes contain leather or wool or something. Vegan isn’t just about food
Vegan aka Synthetics. It’s just a fuckin buzzword.
Now if it was Oil and Animal free It would kinda cool.
No, vegan aka not made with shitty glue made of animal bones. It is not just a buzzword.
Hey horse Jesus died for our glue …

Some shoes have leather in them, in the past it was almost universal that shoes would be made of leather, but with the advent of modern plastics and rubbers most shoes these days aren’t made of leather anymore, since leather is more expensive.Side note, in the past shoes were much more repairable and there were actually people known as cobblers who would make and, get this, repair shoes. Nowadays many modern shoes, especially sneakers, are built in a way that makes them significantly less if not completely unrepairable, which really sucks. We should be able to repair shoes just like in the old days #righttorepair
Alt: wool lined moccasin
Also looks to be made of leather too, which is kind of a bigger problem.
