FEIT offers consumers a line of luxury sneakers that are economically sourced and made free of animal or animal by products thanks to the use of vegetable leather as the main material. The leather is made from produce rather than animal skin, offering a vegan alternative to consumers interested in animal wellness and protection.
While most genuine leather is sourced from animal skin, the FEIT sneakers such as the Super High model are made using vegan leather made from vegetables. The shoes are fashioned together using a single sheet of the tanned leather to create a stylish, soft and supple shoe that is hand-stitched and bound. The shoes are ideal for consumers looking to wear apparel that is made from natural products as oppose to animal fabrics.
