Pleather boots

Looking for cheap pleather boots online, need help. Combat boot-esk. Kind of like Docs but without being well over one hundred dollars.

If you look real hard you can find some that are well....77 dollars or so. I got mine from Hot topic sooo I doubt you want yours from hot topic though. I am also looking for cheap boots mostly the engineer boots. So anyone willing to share?

I got my Doc Martins at a thrift store. Look around.

Just clean them up, polish them with some Kiwi polish.
Mine were scuffed, so I used light sandpaper to remove the scratches, then I polished them. The results were very nice.

Pleather boots are a mistake. I hear that they fall apart.

Not really, some brands have problems but not stemming from the fact that the boots are pleather.

Scroll down to the very bottom of this page and you might see what you're looking for. They're on sale now, too, though not under $100.

Its easier when searching for "vegan shoes" rather than "pleather".

http://www.ethicalwares.com/47/vegan-shoes has some nice boots

http://www.gan.ca/lifestyle/cruelty-...sories.en.html is a very big list of vegan online stores.

I didn't know that. I just don't eat meat. I can't stand the shit now.
Isn't "vegan" just shortform for "vegetarian"?

Vegan's don't eat anything at all from an animal.
E.G: Milk, Eggs, Cheese.


Joker: if you look around military surplus stores you should be able to find some canvas and plastic boots.
I'm not sure how much they normally cost though.

Vegetarians are people who don't eat meat, while vegans don't eat ANY animal products, milks, eggs, meats, and they don't where any animal products either, furs or leathers, so a vegan shoe is obviously fake leather. =)

Okay. That means I am a vegetarian. I draw the line at eggs, milk, and cheese.

I don't eat meat of any kind.

http://www.d-decker02.com may have some vegan boots, the only thing is you got to switch the language setting , it's in Japanese. But the good news is, it's 2 pairs of boots for only $100, which is fairly cheap. Their shoes are allso very descent.

If you want quality pleather boots, I'd suggest Moo Shoes.

Unfortunately, they cost even more than Docs.

I'm jealous of you, Opteron. >:P My mom found a pair of Docs once at a thrift shop, but they wren't THE Docs. Just some ugly ergonomic shoes with a good brand name.

I got my Docs from a thrift store. They were about...Ł40, which is pretty good compared to most stores. They were a little beaten up so I polished them up and now they are as good as new. It's actually pretty difficult to find flat boots for girls, and I hate wearing heels. And they are perfect for JtHM cosplay.
