Floral Vegan Doc Martens
update: A reader called doc martens and informed me that these shoes are actually NOT vegan, and in fact no shoes doc martens makes at this time are vegan. Good to know, but oh no. This worries me because usually I assume if they do not list leather as a material in the materials section that the shoe is vegan. To be totally sure one must do as Shannon who commented did and call companies to confirm!
Another update from Shannon:
Ooh! I have a happy update…
I just received an email from Customer Service saying:
“At present, we do not have any vegan footwear. The Autumn/Winter 2011 collection will contain a complete line of vegan footwear. When it debuts, I will send you an email.”
So look out for Doc Marten’s 2011 collection, that’ll be a great post for your blog!
Thanks Shannon!
Is this awesome or what? Floral Doc Martens with a CANVAS upper and rubber bottom (or ousoles).
Price: $129.50
Buy here from Delias.com
Delias.com is an inexpensive clothing catalog for teens that I used to love when I was in highschool. LIke most inexpensive online retailers I’ve been finding, it’s a pretty good bet that the cheaper shoes they sell are bound to be vegan. You have to do a little clicking around through the “genuine leather uppers” and “suede” etc, but you are bound to find more than a few very cool non leather shoes. I see some great non leather boots on their site right now–feel free to browse!
This is an awesome new source for vegan shoes. I’ll add it to my shopping guide at the top of my website!
I just called Doc Marten’s customer service to make sure these were vegan… unfortunately they ARE NOT vegan. Two different customer service representatives informed me that none of Doc Marten’s shoes are vegan right now.
DON’T BUY THESE! :(
oh no. thank you so much for doing that. that sucks. i really wanted these too. it’s so annoying to know that just because the only materials they list are canvas and rubber it does NOT mean that there is no leather somewhere inside the shoe. I will have to step up to the plate and like you start calling places to make sure things really DO contain no leather or animal products. Thanks for letting me know. I will change it on the post.
