Vegan glue isn't really rare these days - Tenaya, Evolv, 5.10, Mad Rock, La Sportiva all have vegan shoes. It's generally the uppers that are holding them back.
Style wise I agree with you, they aren't great. Kind hoping they look better in real life lol... The white womans version looks slightly better. The vegan Sportiva shoe available now is the Oxygym - now THAT is truly gopping
