I don't know why more companies, such as Puma, don't have a spot on their website or somewhere that makes this type of information available; it sucks you have to seek it out proactively. It'd be great to see companies like Puma, New Balance, Nike, Adidas et al embrace this segment of the populatioin by making "normal" shoes that cater to animal-ethical customers. Too often, the shoes marketed to vegetarians look so hippy that they don't work in a "everyday" lifestyle. I'm not a hippy, but I don't wear leather, give me some good style! I don't want to let me shoes to peg me...I want my actions to do that. Thanks for the information; it’s always a hassle to find shoes that meet style and ethical function.

This stinky hippy girl that Cash and I went to Bjork with was talking about the montrails. I had forgotten the name. Thanks! Ben,

My vegetarianism spans most reasons including health, global, and ethical. It is congruent with the ethical reasons for me not to wear leather. Speaking just to the global/environmental reasoning, I personally view animal materials as after-meat materials. I don't think people would raise animals (the primary environmental issue) just to use their skins, but I don't know that for sure. Alternatively, there are many renewable materials (eg hemp, canvas, etc) that vegan shoes can be made from aside from plastics.

Especially given what plastic appears to be doing: http://www.bestlifeonline.com/cms/publish/health-fitness/Our_oceans_are_turning_into_plastic_are_we_2.shtml The plastic issue aside, can you help explain that?
