Vegan Chelsea boots for men for a chic, casual and ethical look.

Our men's ankle boots or Chelsea boots made their debut in our men's collection in 2022. Very quickly, our Alan model won you over with its ethical characteristics , those that we also attribute to each of our pairs.

Men's shoes from ethical fashion.

The history of COG begins in 2020 and from the very beginning of our adventure, we wanted to offer vegan and eco-designed shoes in Europe while respecting workers .

Winton , Wallace , Topsy , if most of our sneakers are unisex, we also offer women's city shoes and men's city shoe collections . Our Alan Chelsea boots are part of this and are becoming a must-have for ethical fashion as we understand it .

Vegan chelsea boots for men.

Labeled PETA Approved Vegan by the PETA association, our city shoes are entirely cruelty free , which means that their composition does not contain any material of animal origin. Respect for nature, respect for living things is at the heart of our concerns. In our opinion, preserving the well-being of animals is one of the keys to anchoring ourselves in an eco-responsible approach . No leather, no nubuck in animal skin, only vegan leather ! As for the design, the eco-responsible Alan ankle boot draws its elegance from its sober and slender lines. It comes in three colors: black , brown and brown in nubuck material . As for comfort, these Chelsea boots are easy to put on thanks to their elastics on both sides of the shoe. Its very small heel brings just the right amount of chic while ensuring you optimal comfort for the whole day.

Eco-responsible recycled materials.

Plant-based leather is an integral part of the composition of our shoes. After incorporating grape marc into our sneakers (first for our Topsy plant-based sneaker ), we used this material for other shoes and then decided to add another interesting plant-based alternative to the composition of certain models: recycled cereal material, which, for example, makes up our black Alan .

In terms of ecology, we don't just use recycled vegan materials . These come from the circular economy. But what is the circular economy? It is a manufacturing model that aims to give life to sustainable products designed with respect for the environment and workers. Limiting the use of water when designing materials, banning the use of products that are toxic to humans and nature, and reusing material scraps to say no to waste, these are the pillars of a circular economy.

To go further in our ecological approach, we limit our carbon emissions by choosing to work with shoe professionals in Portugal, Italy and Spain. Made in Europe is not only a strength because our partners are renowned for their talent in terms of producing ecological materials and in the production of shoes, but the other major advantage of collaborating with neighboring countries is the reduction of carbon emissions linked to the transport of our products by the fact that we share the same borders.

Respect and consideration for workers.

Our Chelsea boots for men, like all of our models, are manufactured in Portuguese factories , on a human scale, renowned for their know-how. Because Portugal is less than 1200 km as the crow flies from Lyon, we are lucky to be able to visit our teams several times a year to follow the progress of our small productions. The experience and know-how of bed in our urban creations: our ankle boots for women and our ankle boots for men .

Durable shoes.

What matters to us, beyond offering you eco-friendly boots, is to ensure that our shoes last over time. Also, we spend a lot of time selecting durable and resistant materials . Whether it's vegan imitation leather or nubuck, we choose a majority of OEKO TEX 100 certified materials before sharing the characteristics of each model on our product sheets.

As for the maintenance of our vegan shoes , we have dedicated an entire article on our ethical blog to guide you on how to wash your boots or how to maintain your sneakers without damaging them.
