Frequently Asked Questions
What are BOHEMA vegan boots made of?
Real plant-based leather, not synthetic PU/PVC. Three materials: Desserto cactus leather from Mexico (74% biobased), Vegea grape leather from Italy (made from wine industry byproducts) and Viridis corn leather. The lining is breathable textile and the soles are rubber. Handmade in Poland by skilled craft workshops.
Are BOHEMA vegan boots actually durable?
Yes. Desserto and Vegea both pass the European furniture-leather durability standard (50,000+ rub cycles, Martindale test). With proper care, a BOHEMA boot lasts 4-7 years of regular wear. Plant-based leather softens but does not stretch out of shape the way animal leather can.
How do I care for plant-based leather boots?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply a plant-based leather cream every 2-3 months. Air-dry away from direct heat or sun. Store with boot shapers or rolled-up paper inside the shaft to keep form.
What sizes are available and do they run true?
Polish/European sizing 35-42. True to size for most feet. If you are between sizes, size up half a size — plant-based leather softens but does not stretch significantly. Returns are accepted within 14 days if the fit is wrong.
What styles of vegan boots does BOHEMA make?
Chelsea (Squared Chelsea, Tiger Chelsea, Flossy, Chelsea Riot), Combat (Combat Black), Cowboy (Black Saint embroidered, Stitchy, Metallic), Workers (No. 2, No. 3 in Desserto white and Vegea black), High knee-shaft boots (Desserto cactus), and statement modern (Cyber Boots with 5 cm platform). 38 active styles total.
How do BOHEMA boots compare to Dr. Martens Vegan?
Dr. Martens Vegan uses a proprietary microfibre — animal-free but petroleum-derived synthetic. BOHEMA uses real plant-based leather (Desserto, Vegea) with 50-75% biobased content. BOHEMA boots are also handmade in Poland by skilled craft workshops, while Dr. Martens Vegan is assembled in Asia factories. Different price (BOHEMA €199-€319 vs Dr. Martens €170-€220), different supply chain.
What about shipping and returns?
EU: 2-4 working days. UK: 3-6 working days. US: 5-8 working days. Returns: 14 days from delivery. International returns: customer covers return shipping. Boots must be unworn, in original packaging.
