Vegetarian Shoes

We currently have come a long way since Veggie Shoes 1st began in 1990. When I began the business back then (that is me in the photo) I made all the shoes by hand. In fact, originally I only made one style - a basic lace up shoe. I had began to teach myself to make shoes four years earlier after leaving Art College. I was inspired to hear that in parts of Africa, car tyres were recycled into soles. This got me thinking and soon I was making shoes out of anything I could lay my hands on, but being veggie I didn't want to use leather.
