What type of shoes do you wear that are vegan friendly.I've been wearing Van's Rowleys for a while now.Does anybody have any other suggestions?I need shoes that you can skateboard in though, they have to be grippy and pretty light.

blackspot shoes. they're anti-corporate and use no sweatshop labor. made from hemp and recycled materials. http://adbusters.org/metas/corpo/blackspotshoes/
info from the site: "The shoes comply with vegan standards, and are being monitored by Robin Webb of Vegetarian Shoes in the UK. Robin is an industry leader dedicated to the production of ethical footwear. Blackspots are sold only in independently owned retail stores worldwide."
and longdong, don't be so naive. investigate rather than just assuming the best about your pet corporation.

Any shoe made out of pure petroleum rubber. You see, millions and millions years ago, plants which trapped solar energy got composted and then turned into light sweet crude. Aside from the people which died to get the oil to our factories and the unfortunate people putting such shoes together currently living a tortured existence, these shoes didn't harm a living soul. If you promise not to step on any bugs, you will be judged fairly by the "lifeform" you will meet when you pass on to the next dimension.
I'd also say a nice pair of homemade Huarachi sandals would be even more vegan than Nike Air's. But don't get strung out "over a barrel" about this detail.

Converse all stars , the Chuck Taylor line are fully vegan and great skate shoes!
Plus they are much cheaper than theMatt and Nate brand some other answers have mentioned. The Matt and Nate guy is soo over priced and they fall apart! I already tried that brand. The rubber clogs make crappy skate shoes, and the cheap wal-mart ones are not nearly as cool and long lasting as a pair of Chuck Taylors. Check em out...

The cheapies from Payless/K-mart or Target. All man-made materials is the label to look for. Surprisingly Uncle Wally's doesn't have 'em (must have a cut of the chinese/indian leather trade).
BTW; it helps a bunch with these shoes to get aftermarket insoles.
