The owner of a local outfitter store told me he sends people to my blog when they ask about "vegan shoes" or vegan running or whatever and said that I should create a page of all the vegan running shoes available. Obviously that's a massive task, but I went ahead and sent a letter to all the shoe companies I could think of to see if they would send me a list of shoes that are all synthetic, though I didn't bother seeking out shoes made with non-animal glue if only because I don't think they exist. I did tell the companies to also include other information about their shoes like recycled materials, ethical manufacturing standards, etc. etc. if they wanted to. I sent out the email last night and so far have heard back from Saucony, Mizuno, Nike, Inov-8 and Salomon. Granted, a couple were almost form letters that directed me to their "we're making the world a better place" webpage, but others sent me complete lists of their synthetic only shoes. I will be compiling this information and posting it on my blog under a dedicated page in the next week. This might make it easier for those who continuously ask about "vegan shoes".
I'll keep ya posted.
