New Balance Non-Leather Shoe List and other Shoe Musings

[joelbct]

Here ya go, as you can see, they claim not to know which shoes contain animal-based glue and which do not... Oh well, if you have to get new balances, at least these do not contain leather.

 

I am thinking of just going to moo shoes in NYC.... I got a GREAT pair of veganwares dress shoes there- http://www.mooshoes.com/ that is their webstore

Dear Joel,

 

Thank you for contacting New Balance Consumer Support! All of the following models are made with synthetic materials. However, please note that we do use different types of glues depending on what is available. Some of our glues will contain animal products as many glues do. Although the shoe may be made of synthetic leather it does not mean it will be completely vegan. We do not mix real and synthetic leathers on any shoe.

That is really useful, thank you!

 

I forwarded it to all of my friends

Zappos.com has these for cheap, free shipping to your house and if you don't like them send em back! They also say if a shoe is vegan or not on their website.

 

Thanks for the list!!! I love my New Balance shoes.
