As someone who loves to support local makers and is always on the hunt for the perfect black boot it was almost fate when I discovered Zoey Simone. She is a local Kansas City designer who just launched her first collection of all Vegan shoes that also happen to come in recycled boxes for those of us who care about animals AND the earth. As most of us know finding a high quality vegan boot is next to impossible. The fake leather always feels a little… well… fake. So Zoey had to get a little creative with sourcing her materials… my personal favorite is the canvas boot (that I’m wearing above). All of her shoes are made in Portugal and are some of the highest quality I’ve ever seen, comparable to Acne Studios or Alexander Wang. I’ll be wearing these until the cows come home… and they actually will, because none were harmed in the making of these shoes. 😊
