Vegan Steel-Capped Boots for Work

Vegan Steel-Capped Boots for Work

Living / Vegan Steel-Capped Boots for Work

Whether you’re a tradie, a chef, or working in the mines, many jobs require steel-capped boots and other safety features. One thing that’s never required to get the job done is cruelly produced animal leather.

More than 1 billion animals are killed worldwide for the leather industry every year, including adult cows and calves, kangaroos, horses, lambs, goats, and pigs – and even dogs and cats. Investigations of the global skins trade have revealed that the animals endure horrific abuse and many are even skinned alive.

Thankfully, it’s easy to keep your feet safe and still be kind to animals. Here are some of the best options for Aussie workers:
