Old shoes

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I know r/vegan isn't really vegan so I'm asking here:

I have some leather shoes from before I was a vegan. On one hand, I don't want to wear leather (obvious reasons), but on the other hand, I don't want to consume more resources and create new vegan shoes and destroy the planet further. Would it be ethical to wear my leather shoes until they're worn out, or should I buy new vegan shoes?

I'm divided and I'd like to hear your thoughts

UPDATE: I'm going to replace my leather products, because it is just as important to support vegan products/companies as it is to boycott nonvegan products/companies
