Here's our answer to all the men who felt a little left out when animal-friendly shoe company Neuaura Shoes gave the ladies a chance to win a free pair of vegan heels. We're about to turn your frown upside down by giving you a chance to win a pair of stylish, comfortable, faux-leather men's shoes from Compassion Avenue.
India's first 100 per cent vegan footwear and accessories brand, Compassion Avenue is so much more than a shoe company – it is a brand with a cause. Its founder, Pradeep Taneja, says, "When [people] use 'genuine' leather, we contribute to the killing of cows and other animals. If we stop using cruelty leather, the demand for it will decrease and so will the killing".
All you need to do to participate in the contest is to post a comment telling us why you should get the free pair of shoes. The person with the most compelling answer will walk away a winner.
If you don't win, don't worry. You can still buy a pair from their store in Pune. In addition to an extensive line of shoes, Compassion Avenue also offers a wide variety of vegan wallets, bags and belts for men and women.
Good luck from all of us and from your animal friends, who will live happily ever after when you go leather-free.
The contest is closed now!
