Choices in Non Leather Shoes

TOMS Shoes

Boat shoes and sneakers, that’s what we use to call non leather shoes back in my day.  Now it’s vegan sneakers or some other more sheikh name.  No matter what you call them, there are so many styles today as compared to just a few years ago, that everyone I know has at least one pair of leather free shoes.  Most are of the casual Vegan Shoe style.  Not at all surprising considering that there was a the lack of choices for anything other than casual shoes.  That just is not the case any longer. Non Leather Shoes have come out of the dark ages.  A vegan shoe can be a dress shoe for the office or a winter boot for the snow.  Shoes.com has many brands, brands like Earth, J-41, Cogent and MERRELL to name just a few. Today you can find just as many styles as brands.  You are not limited to just Keds or Converse as I was way back in the day.  There are Reebok, Calvin Klien even Carlos Santana shoes.  Love his music too. Vegan sneakers, sandals, canvas shoes, whatever your taste or whatever your need, there are some non leather shoes that are sure to please you. For casual shoes, Toms Shoes has the buy one, give one donation program that I think is great. Because you will need more than just casual shoes I have added a couple other links to sites with more leather free shoes or not to choose from.  Shoes.com and SKECHERS.  Because they don’t have the buy one, give one, I will donate 10% of the proceeds from those links to the CFC.  The more you shop, the bigger the donations.  So buy some non leather shoes.

Non Leather Shoes for Healthy Feet

TOMS Shoes

Healthy feet are happy feet.  Can non leather shoes help keep your feet healthy?  Is a Vegan Shoe what you need for healthy feet?  Let’s look at a couple foot conditions, the causes and recommended prevention tips before we decide. Athlete’s foot, I’m sure you have heard it.  I hope you have never had to deal with it.  It is a fungal infection that usually occurs between the toes.  Most often contracted in showers, gyms, dressing rooms, swimming pool locker rooms, and other warm damp areas.  Good foot hygiene is important, daily washing with soap and water followed by thorough drying.  Wear dry airy shoes and socks help keep the feet dry.  When using public showers and pool areas user protective footwear, a good shower show or flip-flop.  Dry airy shoes and flip-flops, sounds like Non Leather Shoes to me. Toenail Fungus.  You pick this up pretty much the same way you do athlete’s foot.  About ½ of us will get it by age 70.  It is more difficult to treat, so prevention is the key.  Prevention is similar as well with the added recommendation of not wearing nail polish on the toes. non leather shoes - flipflopsProtective shoes such as sandals and shower shoes when you are in public pool areas and public showers and locker rooms.  Wearing dry airy shoes and socks is recommended.  These are all types of non leather shoes and vegan sneakers.  The sandals and flip-flops are more about protection from picking up the fungus.  Dry airy shoes and socks is about keeping your feet dry and letting them breathe.  Letting your feet breathe and stay dry is not something leather does well.  Nice casual non leather shoes are what you want. We use to call them sneakers or boat shoes back in the day.  Now it’s, vegan shoe and vegan sneakers.  I can tell you one thing for sure, the choices in non leather shoes today are far, far better than back in the old sneaker and boat shoe days when Keds were about the only choice.  Technology is wonderful.
