Advantages: Good boots

Disadvantages: Lack of non-leather range

I am a vegan which means, as with vegetarians, I don't wear leather. Considering the ever growing number of vegetarians it is quite surprising how hard it is to buy decent (or even indecent) boots. Through Vegetarian Shoes in Brighton ( http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk ) you can buy a small range of DMs though, the only problem being the number of styles available.

I have only recently bought my first pair of Boots because I don't like shoes. I find them to be increadiably uncomfortable so only used to wear trainers. When these needed replacing I looked at an old Vegetarin Shoes catalogue and the airwair-ness of the DMs jumped out at me, if they are nicely cushioned then they wouldn't be uncomfortable. And I was right, they feel great and unless I become a thinner, fitter, healthier person overnight I have no reason to ever buy trainers again now. The boots I bought were DM Hikers, only 6 eyes but with good grips on the sole suitable for... any guesses? Now I don't want to wear down the sole and would like some bigger boots but I have a slight problem, it seems the range of boots has been reduced since my several year old catalogue and so now you can only buy 8 eyes boots (in black, cherry, and purple), the Hikers, and a few shoes. No ten eyes or above. Vegetarian shoes do have their own brand of larger boots, some of which do have air cushioned soles so I may have to buy one of those. More than likely I will find a way to justify to myself buying those and a pair of the 8 eye DMs.

Comfortable and good looking, I would definitely recommend DMs. I just wish there was a larger range of non-leather boots.
