Flesh It Out: Vegan Boots for Men
All right, men. You asked, and I deliver: this is part two of Flesh It Out: Vegan Shoes for Men. You all seemed to appreciate Part I (Vegan Dress Shoes), and to be candid (and a little sappy) I’m just pleased to have a decent male following. Who says intelligent, eco-conscious men aren’t fashionable?
This round I’m focusing on men’s boots. I think it’s a shame that more men don’t wear boots: they’re sexy, they show off muscular calves, and they allow you guys to avoid the hunt for socks that go with your suit/t-shirt/each other. (Girls, you know you do it too. Hell, I did it this morning.) If you haven’t tried rocking a boot, consider it – it’s definitely a sexy turn from typical dress shoes and sneakers.
In my last post I mentioned these ankle boots by NOHARM and Novacas, but there’s no harm in showing them to you one more time. One is classic, the other a little more daring (but only if you crouch or wear shorts with them – the latter of which I don’t recommend).
With the current nineties craze, how could I not offer you a vegan alternative to classic, lace-up, black Doc Martens? These 14 Eye Boots from Vegetarian Shoes fit the bill…and yep, I’ll try to find more vegan options as time goes on.
Check out the side view – this cap toe (Benjamin by Novacas) has one of the cleanest lines up the leg I’ve seen in a men’s boot. (And again, it’s vegan.)
Why yes, I AM telling you to buy some hardcore Engineer Boots (by Vegetarian Shoes). Wear them with designer jeans, with Carharts, with a ratty t-shirt and something oil-stained…I don’t care. Just wear them, ’cause they’re sexy.
And that’s it! Short and sweet. There are other boots out there (Mooshoes.com has a number) but none of them caught my eye like these ones did.
What do you think: are these boots for you, or are you looking for something totally different?
I’m a feedback nut, so let me know! I’ll be posting more vegan shoes – this time sneakers (and maybe sandals) – in the next few weeks. In the mean time, if you’re looking for more dressy vegan options, head over to the Vegan Dress Shoes post. It’s bountiful.
(Who uses that word – “bountiful”? Me, apparently. Oh, Jen…it’s late. Go to bed.)

I like both of these lists. Though, I wish there were a few more to look at. It’s hard to look at all the tons of shoes out there. I’ve been vegan for a while, and I’ve been just repairing an old pair of leather demi boots I’ve had forever. They are my favorite thing to wear, and now they’re almost dead. I need a filter. You’re a good filter. Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
Jack, you rock. Thanks for the support – it’s good to know that these lists are helping someone out. I’ll find you more options soon!

Hi there!
Just a note to let you know that we’re now making most of our boots and shoes in Lorica, the vegan leather.
Mainly we make more ‘alternative’ styles, but please have a look, there’s probably something you’ll like…

Have a great day.
Ian,

I am also a vegetarian and my body has never been in a very good shape. Being a vegan can really make you much heathier.-~:
Where can I find those wingtips from Novacas? I have looked everywhere and I can’t find them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Tony! We will look into it – we have your e-mail, if we can find them, we’ll shoot you a link! They’re gorgeous, aren’t they?
