Shopping for
cruelty-free shoes is one of the biggest challenges a vegan faces. In the past, one could easily find
non-leather shoes at stores such as Payless, but these products were often of low quality -- not to mention uncomfortable! Happily, this is beginning to change as veganism becomes more prominent in today's culture. After years of searching, I'm happy to share the best places to shop for
vegan shoes:
5. Target
While not exclusively vegan,
Target offers quite a few non-leather shoes, including work shoes, sandals and some great fall boots.
Target is a useful option for vegans because of its accessibility. In addition,
Target's One Star brand has a line of purses which are most often vegan. All materials are listed on the tag inside the purse.
4. Alternative Outfitters
This online shop sells a variety of vegan shoes. In addition to vegan shoes, this online shop sells
vegan bags, jackets and accessories. Visit
Alternative Outfitters for hip, youthful
vegan style.
3. Zappos
Everyone's favorite
online shoe store caters to vegans! That's right,
Zappos allows shoppers the ability to search by category, and one of those categories is "
vegan." Zappos will sort through all the name brands it carries and provide you with the non-leather, non-wool options.
2. Sudo Shoes
"Walk with principle." That's the motto of
Sudo Shoes, located on Mass Ave. in Cambridge, MA, right outside of Boston. The store offers a variety of exclusively vegan brands. Right now the store is local, but the company plans on starting an online store very soon.
1. Moo Shoes
All the style you'd expect from a Manhattan-based shoe shop -- minus the all the leather!
Moo Shoes is one of the first shoe stores that catered to vegans. Moo Shoes makes its hip New York offerings
available online for all.
