   I've owned a pair of VS hiking boots for a while. I got them from a retailer in Amsterdam, and they're great, I love them. Recently, I tried placing an online order for another pair of boots and it's been the most frustrating, time-consuming, mind-numbing online purchase of my life, riddled with inventory shortages, faulty parts, miscommunication, delays, unidirectional decisions, customs expenses, trips to the post office; and all of this to finally realize that the boots run small to size. My attempts to place another order (since a return was not very cost-efficient) were met with slow and careless responses that lacked any hint of customer appreciation or care. I'd advise international customers against VS unless they can access a retailer.

   This was not a good experience. I did place an order for walking boots but not received them. On Saturday, while I was out, DPD messaged to say they would deliver later in the day & that a signature wasn't needed. DPD claim to have attempted delivery later in the day, didn't try the neighbours as they usually do or leave a card to rearrange delivery. Within minutes my parcel arrives at a parcel shop 2 miles away with no option to rearrange delivery & vegetarian shoes won't respond to emails. Yesterday I spoke to our local DPD driver who has no knowledge of my parcel or an attempted delivery on Saturday.

   Finally visited the shop in person, and they had a great end of year sale going on! High quality, long lasting and stylish shoes and boots... I love the airseal shoes and boots particularly. The material breathes and wears just like leather, but nothing died to make them! I've tried other brands, but these are a million times better and can be re-soled (if they ever wear out). Would love to see some airseal stack soles shoes.

   I have had a pair of bush boots from Vegetarian shoes for 4 years, and they are probably the most comfortable shoes I have owned for a long time. Sadly, the uppers are not as long lasting as the soles (hence the loss of 1star - these shoes are not cheap) and the "suede" is really tatty now, so much so that my partner says they cannot be worn any longer (I will!). One word of warning; I have bought a new pair, and they do need a lot of breaking in. Really tight and unforgiving when you first put them on. I suggest you use the as slippers around the house for the first few weeks....

   I use to be addicted to their snugge boot. They were super comfortable and lasted a very long time. My last pair lasted for almost 4 years with no noticeable changes in comfort or tear. But I bought two new pairs (grey and brown) last summer and started wearing them this winter and I am not impressed. They must of changed their model. The seam is tearing off from the boot and the rubber seam rips very easily. Unfortunately, not a good quality book anymore. It's too bad they changed the snugge boot materials. :(

   I love this shop and I love the shoes and boots even more!, I've had SO many pairs of boots, shoes and trainers from here over the years and they really last. They are worth the extra money as they are ethical and they are definitely a worthwhile investment.

   Edit: The reseller has agreed to exchange the boots for me. I am happy with this solution but I still cannot recommend the Approach Mid from my experience. Original post: I bought the Approach Mid from a reseller in November. I have worn them 10 times. The last 2 times, my feet become completely soaked under light rain conditions. I understand the difference between waterproof and water resistant but both the reseller and veg. shoes keep insisting they are only water resistant. These boots are NOT water resistant, or the pair I have is faulty. Furthermore, these 2 incidents of water have caused significant wear to the material and bleeding of the color. This is terrible quality for 180€.

   It was refreshing to be able to walk into a shop and know that all the shoes were ethical, I didn’t need to read the labels! There was a decent amount of choice. Staff were on hand to answer questions and help out. I opted for some boots on the ‘broken biscuits’ rack. They were £75 reduced from £84.95.
