We decided to follow the animal-friendly vegan theme of todays Holiday Shoe post with an introduction to Bootzwalla. Here’s the legwarmers, scarves, and hats that primitive man would have worn had they had the knowledge of synthetic materials and faux-fur way back when. The Inuit-inspired accessories from Bootzwalla are the stuff of antarctic exploration legend. Talk about a cuddle bug, these cozy treats are made for the fashionably cold winter ahead. Bootzwalla creates gorgeous fluff muffin materials that look and feel like soft fur, without using actual fur, which proves that you can be fashionable, comfortable, and animal-friendly all at the same time. Bootzwalla warmer cuff leggings, scarves, and “helmets” have already made a splash in the celebrity fashion culture. Featured in fashion magazines like Vogue and newspapers like the New York Times, hit shows like So You Think You Can Dance, and with followers like Beyonce and Tori Spelling, this is a fashion accessory you need NOW. Available in a variety of colors and styles starting at $185 for legwarmers and $125 for hats, get yours today and bunker down for the long winter ahead.

Shoedish received a special request for this week’s holiday shoe post and we were more than happy to oblige. One of our our very dear friends is a strong proponent of the vegan lifestyle and we included her favorite designer, Stella McCartney, in this post as an early Christmas gift. Sorry, Pumpkin, but we can’t afford the actual shoes as gift.

Dear Shoedish, All this talk of economic strife and the struggle for families to celebrate the holidays the way they want is putting a real damper on the pre-holiday fun. I love to read your site because it’s informative, yet lightens the mood on all the turmoil. I am really enjoying your weekly holiday shoe posts and, as a practicing vegetarian, would love it if you could give us a round of animal-friendly shoes for the upcoming holidays. Thanks!

Ask and ye shall receive. Here are some man-made and synthetic soles for your holiday soul. Featured shoes are from Stella McCartney, Charmone, Olsen Haus, Carlos Santana, Chinese Laundry, Steve Madden, and Guess.

Shoedish has these pull-on boot shoes from Sugar that everyone on the planet likes to tease her about for their “rainboot qualities”. It really just makes us laugh every time we hear someone ask, “Is it raining out?” or “Why are you wearing rain boots?” Hello, people! Does anyone, besides shoedish, have any shoe fashion sense at all? Duh! The world would be such an easier place if people would just realize that arguing with the queen of shoes is a complete waste of time. There is a difference between wellies and shoe boots, after all. All hail the long shafted sneaker. These hobbit sneakers are similar to the ones we mention above and with a fabric material upper, they’re hardly what you’d call rain proof. Shoedish seriously loves this look! These hobbit kicks from Blowfish are available at Delia*s for $49.50.
