I stopped into Moo Shoes the other day and picked up these classic black booties (above) from Olsen House.  Quality craftsmanship and materials – versatile and comfy – great for skinny tights, jeans, or skirts. The Luck Boot, above, ($215).  Check out Olsen’s eco green philosophy and truths about how conventional shoe-making effects animals.

How does Madden Girl keep prices down and style up?  By using synthetic materials that are not as durable as higher quality faux fabrics.  Case in point, the lightweight, Sheldun Boot from Madden Girl, above, ($65) @ mooshoes.com

Jumping onto the vegan bandwagon is Old Navy – Old Leather Harness Boots, in 2 different shades of brown, above R, ($34.50) @ oldnavy.com
