Animal Friendly / Non-leather Shoes

[sofialuv]

Nowadays there are a LOT of synthetic shoes, just look for the materials in the description of the shoes (while browsing trough shoe sites) and you will be surprised on how many are not animal.

I don´t think that today you have to look that much for non leather shoes.

Thank you, everyone, for these suggestion.

Sad that there's not a lot of choices of shoes for vegans.

I've heard Stella shoes suck ***

I wanted to suggest Zappo's vegetarian section, but Seanutbutter beat me to it!

I've heard Stella shoes suck ***

I heard that that's because she doesn't use leather etc.

There are more and more vegan shopping sites online. One of my favorites is http://alternativeoutfitters.com.

alternativeoutfitters.com

Also, if you search for 'vegan' on shopping.com, you will come up with lots and lots of cruelty free, vegan products.

I have posted this link before www.charmoneshoes.com , but here it is again. They have some decent styles although I am not that fond of the current collection. The fall 2006 was nice though.

i think you should be able to find some good rope sandals this time of the year...

if you live in europe you may find it more difficult to find "vegetarian" shoes as a lot of them are made from PVC and the government wants to phase out this substance due to it being bad for the environment.

i dont think stella's shoes are all that bad, and you may be able to find some amazing deals on ebay.

if you don't try to look for leather substitutes there are tons of cute shoes to choose from made of satin, silk, velvet, corduroy, cotton, wool..... there will most likely be something to choose from in every designer's collection.

vegan shoes

i think these days it is certainly getting more easy to find nice vegan shoes and bags... i've known alternative outfitters since a couple of years and they are great!
but i recently found this cute website with all vegan shoes and with european design:
check www.georgette.be! enjoy!

Also on the lower end, a lot of shoes from Payless are free of that annoying leather. I tried to shop in a DSW and it was infuriating because maybe 1 out of 10 pairs is animal product-free. I did find a really good pair, but most of the time Payless will have vegetarian-friendly shoes.

You couldn't get me to wear leather again...

Oh! That reminds me.

Natalie Portman has come out with a line of vegan shoes. She said that finding high quality non-leather shoes were a problem (I hear ya sister!) so she designed her own line.

Here's the link:

Pretty basic stuff. Nothing I must have - but it's a start!

Vegan shoes and boots

Is anyone here vegan and have tips on finding fashionable shoes of a great variety that aren't leather/animal skin?

Because it is impossible for me to do so. Especially to find boots. And it makes me sad.

Ahh, Natalie Portman created a line of vegan-friendly leather shoes!

Natalie Portman’s Vegan Shoe Line

Natalie Portman designed a vegan collection of shoes in collaboration with Te Casan. (Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind.)

The Natalie Portman Collection arrives February 2008 online and at the NYC boutique located at 382 West Broadway. The shoes are available for pre-order on January 15. 5% of all vegan shoe profits will be going to charity.

Nat’s shoes will run you about $200, far cheaper than the Stella McCartney vegan heels.

Sadly the vegan mens shoes are all so ugly. I have been looking at a lot of sites lately for a good pair.

I also am having a hard time finding good vintage shoes. I can find treasures on ebay, but it seems like all the vintage boots/flats are made of leather...
