If you say a word, over and over, eventually it starts to sound less like a word, and more like amusement.

Boots. Boots. Boots.

This past weekend, I was playing around on Endless.com, which has been adding more and more eco-conscious shoe designers to its arsenal, and saw the word “boot” so many times that it started to sound a little funny.  I also found some really cute winter boot options – all of which are vegan – and as long as I’m going to be fixating on how the word “boot” sounds like a comic book sound effect (it totally does) I should make myself useful and show them to you.*

Cri de Coeur: the Wendy Boot and the Felicity Boot

These beauties are certified carbon-neutral and cruelty-free, made by hand (as much as possible, anyway) and 100% vegan (while still using durable, high-quality materials).  If you’re committed to sustainability but still want a shoe that will last for years, spend the extra dough to buy high-end shoes like these ones from Cri de Coeur. Bonus: the Felicity Boot is on sale – almost half off.

Madden Girl Women’s Sheldun Boot
(Comes in Black Paris and Cognac)

Steve Madden (along with Madden Girl) is one of my favorite “big brands,” and when I don’t want the hassle of trying a new brand (which may or may not fit right) I come back to him. These are patent, so you get that leather look without the cow, and they’re right on trend.

Chooka Women’s Buffalo Rain Boot, Charcoal

From what I’ve been seeing all over Seattle (and beyond) these are the rain boots about town.  Chooka makes them with tons of different patterns, too, from Vintage Tattoo to Abstract to this really cool Voodoo pattern (which is on sale, by the way). Wellies for the win.

olsenHaus Blondie Boot

Another high-end option, olsenHaus makes sure that both their materials and their factories are as sustainable as possible. Every single shoe is made animal-free and cruelty-free.

Not Rated Women’s Hysteria Boot
(Comes in Brown and Black)

Here’s your no-brainer of the day: if you don’t want to wear leather…wear fabric. I like that this boot has lots and lots of texture, while still retaining its shape (unlike Uggs, which are the antithesis of “shaped”). This boot also has a whedgle, which means the click-clack of a regular heel, with the support of a wedge.
