Winter isn’t over yet! Cold temperatures and snow days are still ahead. While “vegan” products often get a bad rep as just another way to say plastic, like anything else, quality counts. We’ve looked for boots that use things like recyclable rubber and nontoxic sealants. In essence the most planet and people friendly we could find. And ultimately as the saying goes, The most sustainable option is the one that you keep the longest. So whether you care if your boots are vegan or not, all of these are high quality and well constructed. And as alternative materials advance, watch for plastic to be phased out.
Here’s a list of brands that carry warm vegan boots to get you through the snow, ice and rain. And our favorite style from each.
