Vegan boots!?

I accidentally purchased leather cowboy boots and I feel awful about it… It’s too late to take them back and I want to invest in vegan cowboy boots.
These are the boots I currently have: http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/5121/bootfs5.jpg I like that they have no designs on them.
Can someone please help me find vegan cowboy boots? Preferably black ones. Thank you in advance! I will choose best answer.

e-bay is also a great choice.
Here’s some that don’t seem to be available now .. maybe out of stock: http://www.alternativeoutfitters.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=556
Here is another boot, but it’s brown: http://www.vegetarianshoesandbags.com/68146-0062/product.aspx
When looking at vegan shoes you also want to check who makes the shoes and what materials they use. Places like http://www.veganstore.com/ not only sell vegan goods, but they also refuse to purchase through China and other places where labor standards are not maintained. Good for animals and humans.
You can also check into ahisma leather. They are leather goods from the hide of animals that have died naturally. I just don’t know if there are cowboy boots .. sorry.
Check out the products your shoes are being made of. Its a tricky problem with vegan products sometimes .. what may be good for the animals might be detrimental to the environment through the various toxins used in the processing of the material. Same goes for the processing of the leather in tanneries with leather that comes naturally deceased animals.
Natalie Portman designs really cute vegan shoes–I’m not sure if she makes boots, though.
