Hi Peter and Vegan Wares team
I received my final pair of shoes today and just wanted to
let you know I am very happy with all 5 pairs, and the way you have handled my
order.
Thanks for a great product which I will enjoy wearing for
years.
I look forward to extending my shoe collection with you in
the future!
Kind regards

Just got the shoes. Holy Smoke, they are gorgeous and comfortable.
Do you now have my size/fitting on file? Can I order more?
Based on what you did -- a wing-tip style with a wider toe box, what
other styles do you recommend for dress?
I am so completely pleased.

Dear VW Staff,
I'm really enjoying my new VW shoes. I'm glad I got around to getting them. They feel good and finally I can ride my bike to work with the same shoes that I work in which saves on weight and bulk when cycling.

Hello Peter,
The shoes arrived today and they fit brilliantly. I'm already very pleased because the workmanship is clear, the materials are durable and yet they don't weigh a ton. They will be much used and cherished.
Thanks very much for filling such an important market niche (ie top quality, non-leather, walking shoes).
Best regards,

Hello there. A few years back I purchased some single buckle square toe dress shoes from your company and wanted to see about getting a new pair. They have and still are holding up and its been well over 4 years. I wear them at least 3 times a week also. They are great quality might I add. So here is the problem, I do not recall the name of the shoe just know that it is a Vegan Wares shoe. I no longer see it on your site for sale. What do you need from me to see if this shoe is still made or can be made?........... Thank you very much and please put any part of this into your testimonial section.

Peter,
Thanks again for the great shoes!
I was so excited to receive my first order, the Black & White Ernest shoes.
They
look amazing and are so comfortable. I intended to only wear them for
half a day to start breaking them in, but they are so comfortable, I
wore them from 11am to 11pm, and my feet still felt so good in them, I
could have worn them to bed! :)
And while I was out in public, I got compliments from complete strangers. These shoes get noticed!
I
like the shoes so much that I just placed an order for two more pairs
in different styles, and I also posted a picture in my blog for
everyone to see.
I can't imagine buying shoes anywhere else.
All the best,
Doug, Los Angeles

Hi there,
I have been meaning to drop you a line for a while now and thank
you for your excellent products and outstanding service - especially
Jenny, who helped me out when the Marci zip boots I ordered in
September didn't fit correctly, and remade them so that now they are
perfect.
I'd ordered two pairs of Lois shoes previously and been thrilled
with them - they fit perfectly and were very comfortable to walk in.
But I think you can really judge a company by what they do when there
is a problem - even when the problem is partly or mostly the customer's
fault. Even without the ability to try on shoes or boots before buying
online, I know I can order with confidence from Vegan Wares, and I will
certainly be investing in a few more pairs in future!
Thank you,
Belinda, New South Wales

Hi Peter,
My Lillian 2 shoes arrived yesterday. They're exactly what
I wanted: pretty, durable, feminine summer shoes with flat soles and ankle
straps to keep them from flying off my feet when I run for the train.
I finally have something to wear with skirts!
I also own a pair of your Bec 3 "Mary Janes", some Office Walkers,
and the Long Samette zip-up boots. I've been buying a pair or two
of your shoes via the internet every couple years for a while now.
The walking shoes are a bit scuffed - I wore them almost daily for two
years - but otherwise, all of the shoes are still like new.
I know a lot of vegetarians who buy cheap shoes from Payless and
not-so-cheap shoes from some of the other online vegan stores. I
always recommend you to them. One pair of long-lasting, breathable,
classic shoes is worth a zillion pairs of cheap, trendy footwear.
You guys do a wonderful job. I couldn't be happier.
Thanks,
Paula , New York

Hiya,
Just a note to say that the dog collar, I ordered from you, arrived
today. From ordering to recieving my goods, only took 10 days (very fast
delivery, from Australia).
Also, the collar is better made than the belts I've had from 'Vegetarian
Shoes', here in England, as they line their's with PVC (not very durable),
whereas this dog collar is completely PU (much stronger wearing).
I look forward to dealing with you again, and I would recommend
your products to anyone.....Cheers.
Thanks,

Greetings!
I've received the boots [military boots, see Make-to
Order page] They look great ! Thanks for your fine workmanship.
I like the look and they feel quite comfortable, and they seem to bear
enough resemblance to the boots the Army authorizes that I think they'll
pass muster.
I'll let you know how they wear, particularly the canvas. Depending
on how things go, I may even order a second pair ! Let me know if
you stumble across any materials that might be of interest for a future
boot (eg the khaki nylon, etc).
Thanks again for all your help.

Subject: Testimonial
My wife, Elaine, first purchased a pair of your shoes (Audrey style,
size 8.5 elite) on 13/6/99. More than 6.5 years later, they are in
perfect condition, despite the fact that she wears them to work for 6 months
of the year. Elaine also bought me a wallet so long ago I can't remember
when, but must be over four years. Leather wallets used to last me
about two years, yours is still in perfect condition.
Elaine is currently procrastinating about buying a pair of elastic
sided boots, as she's very tight with her hard earned readies. Her
current gardening boots are plastic, uncomfortable and split because of
her wide feet, totally unbreathable, not worn often and about two years
old. Yet she is still considering buying another pair to 'save' $150.
So I'm just ordering the Vegan Wares Trent [style] as a surprise because
I love her, to stop her wasting $70 on crap and so I don't have to listen
to her complain about sub-standard boots for two years until she throws
them away. I'm looking forward to 10 year plus of blissful gardening
contentment. Just wish you made handbags (for her, not me!).
Unlike Elaine, I'm not a vegan. I'm only vegetarian for reasons
of convenience, taste and health, although I'm opposed to some farming
practices. Also unlike Elaine, I am male and have a normal width
foot which means I can buy well fitting shoes easily and cheaply.
But I've just decided that in future all my footware (excluding running
shoes) will be from Vegan Wares. If they last longer, look better,
feel nicer, are cheaper in the long run and don't require me to go shopping,
then the only reason I can see to buy leather is if you get a perverse
sense of satisfaction out of wearing the skin of dead animals.

Terry, South Australia

Just writing to thank you for my Fred shoes, which arrived yesterday
in the mail. They fit perfectly with my orthotic and are very comfortable,
not to mention stylish. It is so difficult to find good looking shoes
that fit orthotics, are firmly attached to my feet (I have mild CP, so
no slip-ons), and are vegan as well. I was beginning to think I would
have to wear my daggy runners for ever. Thanks again from a
very happy customer.

Dear Peter,
Jenny and everyone at Vegan Wares ...
I just wanted
to let you know that I have received my special order Fred shoes with the
extra thick sole and I can't rave enough about them. They are absolutely
fabulous, they are so well made and fit perfectly. Comfort is outstanding
for a new shoe, no wearing in was necessary, and style is better than I
had imagined. Your service was impeccable and I was very surprised
by how fast it was between order and seeing the product on my feet.
Nothing compares to shoes made to your feet and there is no turning back
for me now. More importantly, no animal was harmed in the making
of these shoes and I don't understand why you would want anything else
....no shoe in my past compares to the quality of my vegan wares shoes.
Thanks again.

I bought some
boots from you guys about 7 years ago and just wanted to let you know that
they are still in fantastic condition (although they are not everyday-ers
they do get worn a lot). In fact, good enough for me to wear as best

Hello,
You made my

so much ! It's time for repair or replacement ....
........
Thank you so much .. for the very fine quality boots you have provided
me with. I believe I have walked at least 5000 km in them, at a conservative
estimate. They have served me very well ! When I used to wear
leather boots they'd last me a year of less rough treatment than I have
given these. Your boots have proven more economical, as well as more
animal friendly.
