Do all DM's use veggie leather? Or is it just a select range? I'm not a veggie, but I can see that the leather industry is more wasteful and harmful than the meat industry in many ways. I don't plan to fight everything, but if I can get hold of a pair of ethical DM's it'd be cool....

Well I don't know how ethical dm is as a company, but yes they do do a veggie boot... Stardust has some.

Theres a veggie shoe / boot shop in Brighton too, but I cant remember the name:&

My current pair say made in the UK. I've also checked out quite a few in the shops, I've not seen any that don't say made in the UK....

Nah, Spyders right Sal.. will try to find an article about it, but it's true.

I'm pretty sure he is, I've heard reports of them moving their factories abroad, I'm just wondering why some still say made in the UK....

I heard if they're designed in the UK, you can put made in the UK on them... :confused:

Anyone know where Dunlop stand ethics wise? They have a tire factory up here in Washington but I haven't a clue where their trainers are made - I got a pair for like £25 last week, hadn't paid so little for trainers since 1992 or something.
