Liz Claiborne/real leather?

I choose not to wear real leather and got some cowboy boots I thought were faux. I'm wondering how I can tell if they're real or not. The insides are like cracked (from being old, I got them at a vintage shop) little flat pieces of dark foam and behind that looks like the animal skin. I didn't notice this until today. I thought they were fake because they don't smell strong but other than that sign I don't know what else to look for. The material is criss crossed/interlaced in the middle, and the boots are thin, they sag at the ankle. Hopefully some of you can help me out. Serious answers are appreciated, thanks. =)

Liz Claiborne/real leather?
liz claiborne does make leather wear but they have faux leather too. check inside the boot where the size is printed. it there anything that says "leather upper" or "all manmade materials"?
Reply:Liz Claiborne is good quality but by buying from this brand you are supporting racial hate groups and a negative racial image, but if thats you're type of brand then go for it.
Reply:If it's vintage Liz Claiborne it is likely real leather. At one time no designer would use fake leather on branded label footwear. As leather ages it can loose that characteristic leather smell. Real leather is healthier for your feet than fake leather. Fake leather foot wear does not breathe makes your feet sweat and can lead to serious foot health problems, including serious fungal infections that are difficult to clear up without drugs. For the sake of your overall health, foot health and comfort wear real leather, not plastic. BTW-did you know that the production of the plastics used to make fake leather kills far more animals in the long term? And that Vinyls come from some of most highly toxic chemicals known to modern industry? You may have saved one cow that was already dead and turned to steaks; but you've contributed to global warming and large scale environmental destruction due to toxic waste and pollution.





If you are going to be an idealist, be sure you have all the facts first. Read some of the literature on the toxicity of plastics and then reconsider your choice to encase your foot in a carcinogenic chemical.


Edit to add...some vinyls made in China have been found to contain toxic levels of lead, Once again, what's wrong with leather?
