Vegan Footwear
Have you ever thought about going vegetarian? What about vegan? Now how about going vegan and getting vegan shoes - that’s a challenge.
Finding shoes which fit this brief that are also functional and stylish is not easy, but it appears that a number of designers are stepping up to the plate and recognising the opportunity to sell to another niche. They are being ably helped by a slew of online retailers.
If you’re looking for some footwear at the more casual end of the market there are online retailers like shophumanitaire who have a huge range of boots, trainers and other dressed down options that are constructed out of faux suede, microfibre and hemp. The designer John Fleuvog has constructed a trainer from hemp and faux leather, as well as a shoe called the Kalahari made from faux suede with a synthetic rubber sole. Should you feel like reliving the 90s there are even some 14 eyelet boots which look pretty comfy.
Another online store called Patagonia has a massive selection of both men’s and women’s shoes which cover the entire spectrum from trainers to tennis shoes. What if we told you about Earth Vegan, the store that provides shoes that are not only hugely comfortable, they also correct your posture too! Finally Rawganique have slippers, trainers and unisex sandals made from hemp, which don’t skimp on style.
Perhaps high heeled boots and classical shoes are more your thing, then why not check out Olsen Haus or Swim, who make all of their shoes from a faux-patent leather that truly is 100% vegan.
Zappos hold an extensive range of vegetarian shoes from designers across the world including Natalie Portman’s line - Te Casan, which is an amazing and stylish collection of top quality footwear.
We’re proud to report that vegan footwear for both men and women has come a long way over the last 10 years, and now you can stick to your principles and continue to mix with the fashionistas.
