Mayim Bialik’s What Not To Wear Makeover Changes Her Leather Shoe Policy
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Fashion.
Mayim Bialik had the privilege of receiving a makeover compliments of the team at What Not To Wear.
Although Mayim’s said before she’d never call herself completely vegan, she does try to avoid leather. Mayim used to take it a bit further and avoid products that even looked like leather.
From celebrity-babies.com:
“They made me throw out my Doc Martens, but when we went to the vegan shoe store in Manhattan they had vegan Doc Martens, so I may have to indulge! My policy used to be that I didn’t like to wear shoes that looked like leather, even if they weren’t, but I let that go, because my feeling is if they aren’t leather, then it’s OK for them to look leather. I gave them so many limitations with my rules on bold colors, pants, frills, so I figured I’d wear vegan shoes that look like leather.”
Some people refuse to wear fake fur for the same reason. What’s your take on the situation? Should vegetarians and vegans avoid wearing lookalikes because they give the wrong impression?

I didn’t think vegan Doc Martens still existed. I can’t find them anywhere.

I think it’s totally fine to buy fake! It’s saves animals so why not? I love them! All my shoes look like leather and I have a couple of purses that do too.
