However, those shoes or boots may last several years of heavy wear and tear before they have to be replaced. Good quality non-leather footwear is now easy to purchase. The days of a pair of plastic shoes lasting several weeks before they fall apart is over providing you choose well-made products. Of course, the best thing about non-leather footwear is that no animal suffered to produce them. There are now a fabulous range of alternative non-leather footwear available from DM boots and shoes to summer sandals in a variety of colours.

In addition to a range of footwear, many companies now produce non-leather jackets, bags, wallets and belts.
