Shopping : Cute vegan shoes, they do exist!

<3 I am not a shoe!

Most people probably don’t hear the words “vegan” & “shoes” in the same breath. It’s not something often thought about. We’re more occupied with whether they’re cutting edge, the right colour/design, 10 inches high or seen on the it-girls of the moment.

Most of these coveted shoes are made of leather and it can seem impossible to find cruelty-free shoes that are actually wearable, let alone fashionable.

So our challenge? Super cute feet, sans leather! Lets go!

Made in Brazil from recycled plastics, comes many gorgeous pairs of cruelty free (& environmentally aware) shoes from wonder-brand Melissa. While you may think plastic jelly shoes would be uncomfortable, I find these far from that! As with all new shoes they take a little getting used to, but once that’s done they are extremely comfy to slip on & rock day or night!

The 2nd pair are my favourite shoes EVER! I get so many compliments on my cobalt blue coloured ones, they are some really unique flats, the way the strap goes across the foot is really cute.

Available online at Melissa Australia & Revolve Clothing.

Our second stop comes courtesy of the lovely Ms. Portman. A vegetarian her entire life, she’s decided to put her fame & face to a new line of shoes that are both vegan & humanely produced!!! Pretty exciting, and some of the shoes are v.cute.

Looooovely! Though I can’t see where on the site you can purchase these particular ones. ( Natalie Portman for Tecasan ) There are plenty other cuties on there.

Next up we have Stella McCartney.

2 gorgeous pieces. I’m swooning for the pair on the right!

Vundebar! I could never get away with wearing these! My feet tremble at the mere sight of a 1 inch heel, but I have to admit these are pretty darn hot.

Stella McCartney is a high-end designer of cruelty free garments, bags & shoes. The price ranges upwards from $700 US. For cashed up vegans & fashionistas alike!

I find it really inspiring that she has succeeded as a high-end designer, becoming very sought after, all the while maintaining her beliefs on animal rights. *thunderous applause* Unfortunately I doubt I will ever be able to afford a pair of her lovely foot treasures

Available online from Neiman Marcus.

Our final destination for Today is a wonderful site that sells TRUCKLOADS of cute vegan stuff.

Cutest leather-free flats I ever did see! These really remind me of Peyton from One Tree Hill – oops, little embarrassing admission! I am getting these shoes!

PLEATHER T-BAR FLATS! <3<3<3 I am in love with these shoes! They will also be winging their sweet little way to me very soon.

Perfect vintage style brown flats with added cuteness in the form of tiny perforations & ankle strap!! You could wear this with so many things, another shoe in my shopping cart

Nautical fun!

And the creme-de-la-creme of vegan shoes… the one thing I never possibly thought could be “cruelty free”…

VEGAN UGG BOOTS!!! Historically known to use both suede & sheeps wool, these babys use neither, consisting of faux-suede & synthetic wool lining.

All these shoes come courtesy of Alternative Outfitters. They also sell cute shirts, pleather bags & accessories. Definitely one to bookmark!

So now you have no excuse! Cute feet are just a mouse-click away & you’ll be keeping baby cows & sheep everywhere sleeping safely & happy at night in the knowledge that they wont be turned into shoes xx

Stumble It!
