Sorry to say this, but you don’t know anything about Geoff Rowley, unless you skateboard. He used to be vegan but isn’t anymore. So, when he was vegan, all of his shoes were made from synthetic materials. Even in an earlier interview, when talking about veganism, he said that he would eat a burger, if he ever craved one, and stop eating a vegan diet. If you have any questions about what shoes are vegan-friendly and what’s not, you could always e-mail Vans.

geoff rowley is NOT vegan, i don’t care what his myspace says. he was just featured in a new video premier canned hunting big game. last time i checked, shooting an animal at point blank wasn’t vegan. i don’t know, maybe i’m missing something, but i think being vegan and shooting and killing animals don’t quite coincide.

I am so glad you both posted about Vans and Geoff Rowley not being vegan.
I am especially greatful for hearing Chad being pissed that Geoff is a big game hunter… so much lies out there… vans using “vegan” to market nonvegan products… and this Geoff dude getting off killing big game and yet claiming to also be a sweet wonderful animal loving vegan dude. What lies… its good to hear people care and see the bulls*** for what it is. Thanks!!! for caring this much to be pissed and help tell others.

Geoff Rowley’s shoe line was all vegan for a long time, for years. Now he’s adding in leather and is no longer vegan. And he likes big game hunting, so… f him. Don’t buy his shoes. Or at least check the materials before you do.

I went to buy these at a vans store and not all the materials are man made. Careful when buying vegan shoes not always are they really vegan.
