i dont understand why fake leather should be expensive or should involve “thinking outside the box”. When i check the labels or the material of the most cheap lady shoes ( not for myself because i am guy , ehehe
) many shoes that look like leather are actually fake leather.

i was just going to write the same thing herwin… for years now i’ve known i could get my “vegan” shoes at target (pronounced tarjaayy they are 100% man made and cost 10 bucks. Trust me I love her stuff (have a pair of shoes) and her dad is my hero but I beg to differ. Man made shoes have almost always been less than leather. Honestly that comment comes out of left field for me too!

I imagine that part of the expense is researching new materials to ensure that they are not just animal-free but are also eco-friendly and durable. There’s many reasons why those Target shoes are so cheap (do you really think that everyone involved in the production of them is fairly paid at $10 a pair?). There are many options out there for high quality AND fairly produced shoes that are not nearly as high in price as Stella McCartney’s – just look at olsenHaus, Cri de Coeur, NOVACAS and Neuaura for starters.
