Lol. You have no idea what you're talking about, do you
Why ? What is the problem with this ?0 -

How do boots with a thick sole help with soaked socks? As far as polyester (and other similar synthetics), what would you do regarding the degradation of comfort in hot weather? What about the loss of insulation impact when wet in cold weather?
Thick sole would help them not get wet.There are plenty of comfortable vegan options .
I have some boots with thick soles and I still sweat with them. I must be doing something wrong?0 -

Buying thick soled boots is not a solution to wet feet in inhospitable conditions0 -
PETA is a joke with their absurd behavior and scare tactics. The only people who buy into their garbage are impressionable teenagers and middle-aged women who can't communicate with other humans on any real level. PETA actually sets back real animal activism (e.g. protesting butchers who are dedicated to selling ethically raised meat).
I've been a vegetarian for nearly two decades (with various stints of veganism every now and then), and I don't need a radical, often hypocritical organization that does more harm than good to tell me how to eat. You don't either.
Also, several of the meat and dairy substitutes you list are processed junk that is terrible for you. Learn to cook. It's easier than you think!
Your intentions are good, but don't use some crackpot organization as your basis. Do your own research and become better informed about both animal rights issues as well as your dietary choices. You'll be amazed at how much there is to learn outside of PETA's propaganda pamphlets!
Please explain to me the bolded part how and from where did you draw this conclusion that you had to confidently claim it.
I need statistical data from where you can back your claim.
BTW I'm no PETA Fan. But I'm a middle aged woman who is an animal lover.
I didn't realize that personal observation required statistical evidence.
Let me ask you one question: Can you communicate comfortably with other humans?
If you answered yes, then it doesn't apply to you.
If you answered no, then I understand why you didn't see the humor in it.0 -

what was your first clue?
the 20yo chick who has been a vegan for 5 minutes offering all her vast knowledge on veganism and footwear?
that was mine.0 -

Veganism is one of the most restrictive lifestyles. It's not a diet, more like a religion.Katerina9408 wrote: »...don't restrict yourself...
It is not diet,it is lifestyle.I don't feel restricted by anything and don't have cravings for animal products....but yes you can make it restrictive and eat too little, but thats not the point. The point is to be healthy and help enviornment.
She didn't call it a diet. She called it a lifestyle.
If one goes full vegan - not just a dietary vegan (those do exist) - it is incredibly restrictive. You are limited on shoes, socks, belts, lip balm, gum, lotions, etc. on top of the restrictive diet.
You don't seem to have much knowledge about veganism or hiking so maybe you should do more research and listen to those who have been vegan for a long time before trying to share your "knowlage"0 -

Veganism is practically a religion. It requires strict discipline and thorough planning.
The problem with what you're saying is that if someone "messes up", or choses to still eat meat or dairy or use animal products... you are NOT vegan. You are either vegan or you are not vegan. There is absolutely no in between. You may be eating vegan meals, but if you are eating or using any animal bi-products at any time, you are most certainly not a vegan.
That being said, a vegan lifestyle or incorporating some vegan meals into your daily routine has health benefits and I would suggest anyone reading to try it. Please don't take advise for someone who has only been practicing a vegan lifestyle for only 3 months as they are still learning what works and what doesn't. There is a wealth of knowledge on the internet. Do your own research and find what works best for you.
To Katerina9408,
Please, please, please: spell check and use proper grammar. No one will take seriously what you have to share if you can't even spell properly.
You should check your own spelling and grammar before you criticize other people's. I wouldn't have called out the typo if you hadn't scolded her for a crime you committed no more than 5 lines above the scolding.0 -
Wait, can vegans really not use wool? Not even ethically obtained wool? I mean it's not like leather where they actually kill an animal.
ETA: I googled it. Well. Ok then. I guess.0 -

I don't understand.... am I the bad one just because I want to help others start this lifestyle to support them and not be like "You don't know this,you don't know that". That is why most ppl would not even consider veganism,because there is always someone who will judge.I though that this site was about support ?0

Vegans don't use wool. It's believed that humans don't have the right to "use" animals for anything.
ETA: I should really learn how to refresh the page before posting.0 -

you just started the lifestyle yourself.
before you go trying to help others, why not first settle in and see how YOU do it best?
claiming to be something does not an authority make.
just do you.
now lets let the gifs commence.0 -

There are synthetic and hemp options out there. And I have yet to find a pair of socks that prevented me from blistering on my hikes wool, or otherwise. The only thing that finally stopped it was a lot of trail miles, and Fred Flintstone like blisters on my feet.
I suffer for my sport.
Oh, May I add, shhhhhhh......... My hiking boots are still leather, I bought them a few years ago, before I became vegan, and will not replace them until they need replacing.0 -

Not always though. I mean hell, if cat fur made useful hiking socks I could hand you bags full of it and assure you with 100% sincerity and truthfulness that my cat was thrilled to donate it. But I suppose it still wouldn't be 'vegan' because I used something that came from an animal. A happy well groomed animal.0 -
You can't use wool, because it's an animal product. But if you don't shear the sheep, it will be miserable. But you can't use animal products! It won't be dead! But you can't use animal products!! IT WON'T BE DEAD!! YOU CAN'T USE ANIMAL PRODUCTS, I DON'T CARE IF THE SHEEP WALKS INTO A WALL ALL DAY BECAUSE IT CAN'T SEE!! YOU CAN'T USE ANIMAL PRODUCTS!!!
To heck with this, I'll just order me up some lamb chops, shearing problem solved.0 -

Fwiw, there was a PETA demo at work last week (university). No middle aged women running that! In fact, they all looked pretty much like Emaybe (both the men and the women did).0 -
