Visionary Boot - Brown Every man needs a good pair of boots that will age gracefully through more than one winter. While we appreciate leather, the Visionary Boot (100 percent vegan) by Brave GentleMan can hold up just as well as the best calfskin on the market.

They are 100 percent vegan, sustainable and fair labor.

They are manufactured in Portugal in worker-friendly factories too. The boots come in brown, black or patent and run $304 a pair. If you like these and want to consider adding eco-friendly menswear to your arsenal check out the Brave GentleMan. The line by designer Joshua Katcher is all eco-friendly.
