You a cool dude im sure and im not tryin ta put you on blast, just since you put it out there I need to know. What type of shoes are allowed? Do you guys wear wingtips? oxfords? tennis/basketball shoes? Really though. Also belts, are they out as well, and the interior of you guys car. cloth only? Serious question.

Haha, sorry I missed this post.. Shoes are ok. Just avoid anything made from animal products. There's a lot out there are made from synthetic materials. I've got these Fila's I picked up in NY a couple of years back, and a couple of other pairs including some Reboks. They're actually quite decent shoes, and the synthetic stuff is waterproof too.

Belts.. I just have a canvas belt with a metal clip.. It does the job. Cars, well I remember reading that Daniel Johns from the band Silverchair who is vegan bought a Mercedes, but had the leather on the seats replaced with a fake leather. I guess he's got the money to do that! My car's just a Toyota Echo, so leather was not even an option when I bought it.

Avene, what makes you vegan, dude? I think you'd contribute to the well-being of humanity better, if you stop using car. :mrgreen:
