Dr Marten's Vegan Boots

Fuck me ... I've done it again. Just when I think the world can't get any more PC; it goes and proves me wrong. Doc Martens - that well known brand; and skinhead icon has gone and produced a vegan boot. How the fuck do you make a boot vegan? Put some humus on it? Make it out of vines leaves? Pardon me-  but I'm getting the words - marketing bollocks. It's a great boot  - you can kick someone's head in; and be compassionate at the same time. Sales of the vegan range – which replaces the leather upper with synthetic polyurethane plastic – have increased by “multiple hundreds of percent” in recent years, according to its chief executive, Kenny Wilson.  Never mind that you're flooding the oceans with tons of plastic then ? Cynical bastards. Woof !
