Is Roni Kantor an ethically vegan brand?
Yes! Roni Kantor is an intentionally and ethically vegan brand, rather than one that uses vegan materials out of convenience, or for other reasons. According to the brand, "All shoes are made from leather substitutes, out of respect and love for animals."What materials are used to make their shoes?
Roni Kantor mainly uses vegan leather for their upper materials. They've informed us that their main material is PU (polyurethane) for their uppers and soles.Are their shoes eco-friendly/sustainable?
Roni Kantor's shoes wouldn't be considered very 'eco-friendly,' given that their main material is PU. Generally speaking, however, vegan leathers are less harmful to the environment that animal-derived leathers - this is backed up by data from inside the fashion industry as well as outside.
