Corn-Crafted Vegan Shoes

The 'Solari Milano' Men's Dress Shoes Are Cruelty-Free

— July 28, 2022 — Eco
Italy has long been venerated as the foremost purveyor of high-quality men's dress shoes, but the country is also now proudly home to a new brand that aims to provide vegan shoes that are crafted out of purely cruelty-free methods whilst also catering to the fashion-forward needs of men looking for stylish dress shoes.

The 'Solari Milano' line of vegan shoes are made out of corn-based materials that are vaunted for being durable and water-resistant whilst also offering breathability and a soft texture that is comfortable on the foot. The brand currently offers three styles of shoes, namely oxfords, loafers and brogues, all of which are certified Italian and produced in Tuscany.

The launch of this exciting new brand is truly a momentous occasion, and proof that high-end style doesn't necessarily require the slaughter of animals.
