Many shoes contain leather or wool or something. Vegan isn't just about food

Vegan "leather" is made of plastic. Plastic is a by product of the oil industry. Oil is made out of dinosaurs. Plastic is not vegan.

Take THAT PeTA!

@essell
Some shoes have leather in them, in the past it was almost universal that shoes would be made of leather, but with the advent of modern plastics and rubbers most shoes these days aren't made of leather anymore, since leather is more expensive.

Side note, in the past shoes were much more repairable and there were actually people known as cobblers who would make and, get this, repair shoes. Nowadays many modern shoes, especially sneakers, are built in a way that makes them significantly less if not completely unrepairable, which really sucks. We should be able to repair shoes just like in the old days #righttorepair

Also looks to be made of leather too, which is kind of a bigger problem.
