This is a great shoe to pack to wear at a meeting, to keep at the office, or to use as a back-up . The upper material is black breathable microfibre glued to a non-woven lining and a thin cushion at the heel. The tartan / foam insoles are removable and can be swapped between your other shoes.

Vegans' best-kept secret: bouncier, & truer to your roots than the leather brands. Made in the Midlands for Veganline.com

This boots have microfibre uppers and three layer soles. The bottom layer is an extra-flexible plastic, less prone to cracking than typical boots in this style. The middle layer is foam and felt (or injected bungee foam in the earliest batches) which adds more bounce than other shoes soles. The top layer is a cellulose board that gradually moulds to the shape of your feet with wear, maximising their own natural bounce.

♀ Also available as an office lace-up shoe, and in sizes 3, 4 & 8 as a womens T-bar sandal.
