Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Hi, I found myself at the store this weekend looking for new shoes for work/going out but I couldn't pull the trigger and buy leather shoes. Can anyone recommend stores that sell alternatives in N.Bay or SF? Thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 There's a great new-ish vegan store in SF with a Wonderful shoe selection, including the U.K.'s Vegetiarian Shoes. It's called Otsu, I LOVE this store and the owners are awesome. It's close to Dolores Park at 3253 16th Street. www.veganmart.com. There are also many, many places online to get excellent quality shoes, without the hide. --- michael_deutch <michael_deutch wrote: > Hi, > > I found myself at the store this weekend looking for new shoes > for > work/going out but I couldn't pull the trigger and buy leather > shoes. > Can anyone recommend stores that sell alternatives in N.Bay or > SF? > > Thanks, > Michael > > > > Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Talking of sweat shops, you could always try PayLess Shoes. Prices are cheap and they have a wide selection, but I often find that they don't last or are uncomfortable. andy kalin [kalin] Monday, March 24, 2003 4:26 PM SFBAVeg [sFBAVeg] Re: Looking for a shoe store... i recently bought 2 pairs at otsu in the mission. the shoes are totally vegan and not made in sweat shops. http://www.veganmart.com/ andy >Hi, > >I found myself at the store this weekend looking for new shoes for >work/going out but I couldn't pull the trigger and buy leather shoes. >Can anyone recommend stores that sell alternatives in N.Bay or SF? > >Thanks, >Michael ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SF Bay Area Vegetarians is a community group for veggies to network & find support.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 My experience with Payless Shoe Source is that the shoes (CrossTrekkers, in particular) are comfortable, but they definitely don't last long, as Chris reported. In addition, they tend to be much heavier than similar athletic shoes made by New Balance or Saucony, for instance. And nearly every pair in the store is made in China, whereas New Balance and Saucony still have a number of synthetic/non-leather models made by union labor in the USA. Cross Trekkers might sell for $20, while NB and Saucony would be $65 to $120 and can last three to five times as long. I walk about 1800 miles a year, so I keep track of this kind of stuff!
