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!
