"I appreciate your concerns. Generally, the cattle who wind up as shoes don't have an easy life. On the other hand, if they were not so used they'd probably be extinct, since they would then be our competitors for land, and you know how we treat the competition. I'm against factory farming, but I think the kosher-halal concept of butchery is OK. I believe your steak shouldn't know what hit it. Even sacred cows have to go sometime. But to answer your question, I have encountered some presentable shoes that don't involve leather. I have a very nice pair of exquisitely comfortable Prada shoes with rubber soles and uppers made of gray wool; I sometimes wear them with suits. I have a great pair of J. Fenestrier rubber-sole shoes with elasticized grosgrain uppers. I also have wool Belgian shoes, a gray pair and a Campbell-plaid pair, but I'd say these are leather lite, since they have leather soles. I don't understand why there aren't more good-looking humane shoes. Die-hard vegetarians seem to go for Veggie Docs, made by Dr. Martens. They're a little clunky, but sacrifice is sacrifice."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
