page summary: non-leather vegan vegetarian safety
boots:
One of our two suppliers uses a leather-coloured
synthetic lining round the heel. Both conform to these safety
standards. We also have an account with Egoli,
a South
African brand of rubber safety ankle boots. They are not
kept in stock as they aren't from a country with courts votes
& a welfare state, but they can be ordered for £26
a pair and returned for a £26 refund or replacement if
they don't fit. Click on the brand name or scroll down for a
picture, or click on your size in the sale
pages in case a pair has been returned that might fit you.
