Goodyear Women's Welt 14 Eye Boots Black

These are not a pair of boots just for fashion.

Built to last years, they will keep carrying on and on with the replaceable Goodyear Welt solid rubber deep tread outsoles.

A pair of Goodyear Welted boots can take up to eight weeks to make, using up to 75 boot parts and over 200 different operations to create. The origins of this method go back over three hundred years. The method is generally regarded throughout the worldwide boot-making industry as the best way to make superior boots.

As you wear these boots, their fit and comfort will improve as their components mould to your foot's shape.

Goodyear Welted footwear can be resoled by stitching the new sole to the welt, extending the footwear's life.

• Cut with Italian 69% bio-based water-resistant vegan leather. You can polish the uppers to keep them looking new and bring out a shine.
• Strong recycled polyester laces with metal lace tips.
• Solid rubber deep-tread Goodyear Welt outsoles with recycled content. Easily replaceable at a good cobbler.

Will's Vegan Store launched in 2012 as a vegan shoe company. Since then, they've moved into fashion and other products as well.

The brand continuously reflects on it's operations to see where they can do better. 

Eco-friendly: The majority of items are made from vegan leather alternatives. Some are still plastic-based (PU/PE), but since 2017 they've introduced more biobased and recycled materials into their vegan leather. They have created a sneaker that's fully biodegradable and are certified carbon neutral.

Extra cool is that they have a take back scheme, where you can send back your old shoes to be recycled into outsoles for new Will Vegan's Shoes.

Vegan: As the name suggest, Will's is a completely vegan brand. It's PETA-approved.

Fair & local production: Will's Vegan produces in factories in Portugal and Italy, of which some are part of the Fair Wear Foundation.
