Hello Veggos! I love my converse shoes.. they are so comfy and stylishhh!
Does anyone know if they have any animal products in them?? I dont by leather, but still I just want to make sure my connies are killers.
Thanks!!

I think that converse is owned by nike who use child slave labor in poor countries, as far as animal products in the actual shoe i dont think so, apart from leather ones, but cruelty- maybe not to animals but probably to humans...
forgot to mention the alternative! No Sweat Sneakers!

Like all the canvas-looking ones are vegan, and are all sweat shop-free. Bands like Rise Against have done stuff with them, so you know you're good.
Rise Against
Vans
Converses...
I like this thread.
As far as I was aware converse wasn't a vegan shoe? not that I've looked into it.
one word: Vans.
Vans and MacBeths are my favs
Converse All Stars are worn by animal rights activists the world over. Completely vegan to my knowledge.
