Doing More Than Recycling - Ethical Shoes

Everything is a choice. We can choose to buy shoes made from animals, or we can choose alternatives. In parts of Africa, car tyres are recycled into soles for shoes. Here in Britain, for vegetarians/vegans who don't want to buy shoes made of animal skin, Vegetarian Shoes (in Brighton) uses a variety of materials, including that used for yachting upholstery (it looks and feels like leather, but is "breathable," unlike plastic).
