Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 A handy hint for Vegan shoes - try 'Freerangers' (mail order) - expensive but really really lovely and so much better than the cheap plastic crap you get forced in to buying in normal shops.

I will no longer be a leather consumer but do I have the strength to rip the all leather seats out of my new car... sadly, no... or to throw away an expensive leather purse that was given to me several years ago? How long have you been Vegan? Do you or have you gone through any similar issues? Becoming a teetotaler and tossing out everything in my house that has come from cruelty to animals is not the easiest thing to do... Are there any other Vegans who have just recently "converted" who are also trying to reconcile what is right with what you practically have at the time.. will I buy any more leather? Certainly not.. but do you toss expensive shoes? Ugggh? Gina Michael Benis <michaelbenis wrote: Don't let anyone put you off, it's all very easy really.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 S-J, I truly have so many shoes right now, can you say Imelda Marcos? My husband would absolutely keel over and die if I said... hmmm my shoes are cruel... I'm tossing them all away. He will feel it is a plot for me to just go buy more... although, thinking about it.... hmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
