I’m searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven’t had them for years because I couldn’t find any cool-looking.

@neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com better? I’ve only later found out that plastic is actually not that wide-spread in boots as I thought
Um my comment wasn’t meant to imply that you needed to remove the old one / edit it, but yeh it looks better? I’ll repost what I said in the reply as I can’t find anymore.
I’m just going to state this before anyone jumps in and claims leather as a material is more “eco-friendly” than plastics. The process of getting the leather is very polluting to the environment as the entire animal agricultural industry is. The leather doesn’t magically appear one day at the store, it comes from exploiting animals and the environment. Plastics are also bad for the environment and even human health. So, we should strive for an alternative that is neither of those, which we seem to have found.
I think the main point about the plastic is it breaking up into smaller bits and polluting the environment, but I’m not an expert on that.
