What large manufacturers of branded footwear leather shoes be free for hiking? I know this is not about food, but I thought a vegetarian or vegan could help. I do not like leather and I was wondering what the big brand companies (eg British, Keen, Timberland), make leather shoes Free is appropriate for hiking?
My daughter finds DSW, Payless and others carrying leather free. I'm sorry I think you should go online or call the company of those you listed.
I do not know of any brand in particular, but Vegan Essentials (www.veganessentials.com), Pangea (www.veganstore.com) and MooShoes (www.mooshoes.com) should all have boots that would be sutiable for hiking.
A Canadian company called Toe Warmers makes boots for women, some of which may be conducive to hiking. I have some Nice boots (not hiking) and they keep my feet warm and pleasant in winter.
Many hiking shoes today do not use leather (VEN when treated, it is ineffective in maintaining the humidity), but the synthetic rubber and materals Othe. Check company websites or call for more details
