Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hiya, This is a bit of a weird one for this group, but I thought I'd offer these to another vegan before offering them on Freecycle. I have two pairs of woman's vegan shoes that just don't fit me, but because I had worn them a couple of times before I decided that, I couldn't send them back, and I'm having a clear-out, so I wondered if anyone here would like them. I'm a size 6, but with wide feet, I would guess that they would be best for someone with size 6 but narrow feet or a size 5 - 5 1/2? One pair is a Vegetarian Shoes mary jane style, black, they don't sell them anymore, but they are similar to: http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/pc-150-7-ally-sandal-black.aspx but the strap is velcro, and the material is matt rather than shiny. The other pair is from Veganstore, they are No Bull shoes. Again, not sold by Veganstore anymore, but similar to these: http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/pc-89-7-kalahari-shoe-black.aspx, but with a white sole, a white strip down the side and a white laced effect at the front. I'd really love for another vegan to have these, so please let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hey..I don't think this is weird at all. In fact...I have a pair of shoes that I bought recently, that turned out to be too high of a heel for me. I posted them on Freecycle, but they've not had any takers yet. I was hoping to pass them along to a fellow veghead, as vegan shoes are a bit of a pain to find somethimes. They are a US size 9, which is a 7UK I think.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Does anyone know where I can get some decent looking trainers or running shoes that are vegan, but are specifically black. I've looked all over but can't find anything. I'm also a size 6 (UK) which is hard enough to find stocked as it is. stuart h www.DanaBowl.com iamjen Mon, 2 Oct 2006 4:05 PM Re: Does anyone want these shoes?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Vegetarian Shoes <http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk> would most likely be your best bet, although the sizes are listed in EU sizes which mean very little to me I'm afraid so I've no idea if they do anything in a size 6.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Only some New Balance are vegan, but I think all the models have the materials listed right on the labels. I've had several pair and liked them.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have a list of which New Balance trainers are vegan somewhere. Let me know if you need it and I'll dig it out. Also I believe NB make their shoes in the UK and the US, so the sweat shop issue shouldn't apply. Note that if you happen to be in the Lake District area then NB have a factory outlet there and you can get the shoes at factory prices.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Excellent, thanks everyone. The New Balance M857BK are black, vegan friendly and made in the UK which should, hopefully, cut out the sweatshop and carbon miles problems. The only problem is that out of the four online shops that New Balance suggest you buy from none of them stock this model. Oh well i'll send New Blance an email and see if they can help. stuart h www.DanaBowl.com iamjen Mon, 2 Oct 2006 7:41 PM Re: Does anyone want these shoes?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 just a note wrt sweatshop issue: The trouble back in 2000 (when they were investigated by some Human Rights group) was in two areas. First, they would sometimes have factories in China make the " parts " for the shoes, and then they were assembled in the US, so sweatshop labor was still partly involved. The second, more common approach, was to make the shoes in factories in Saipan, in the Marianas, which is a US Commonwealth. The companies there (Nike, GAP, and a host of others) were able to skirt US law wrt to overtime, minimum wages, etc. and still add the " Made in USA " label. So, back in 99/00, a bunch of Human Rights groups and labor unions got together a filed a class actions suit against many of the mfrs. who had factories there. The good news is, that all but one (Levi Strauss..booo) settled the suits and have subsequently improved working conditions to some degree, according to monitoring groups like Sweatshop Watch (www.sweatshopwatch.org). As of this past spring, when I bought my last pair, there were still some NB shoes that were made in China, but these were clearly labeled. , Paul Russell <prussell wrote: > > I have a list of which New Balance trainers are vegan somewhere.
