I recently have been able to find several pairs of vegan shoes (in the form of canvas plimsols) in standard clothes shops – some of which have been an absolute bargain (Burtons currently has a Sale on – so it is possible to pick up a pair for £7).
If you already have enough plimsols and/or are looking for other types of vegan shoes, try the following sites (Note not all are 100% vegan sites)…
1. Zappos.com. It has a wide selection of sporty sandals and sneakers. The site also carries Stella McCartney’s hip line of vegan shoes for Adidas. Bonus: Zappos ships for free. (www.zappos.com/n/br/bq/866.html)
2. Bourgeois Boheme. The vendor is known for its casual and elegant footwear. But it’s also a reliable source for boots, bags, wallets, belts and cosmetics. (www.bboheme.com)
3. Moo Shoes. It has been known for years for having everything but the moo for women and men — from comfy slip-ons and cozy boots to chic heels and sexy sandals. (www.mooshoes.com)
4. Payless Shoe Source. Vegan shoes are seemingly stacked to the ceiling, including some shoes made from canvas. And you’ll probably find most shoes priced at less than $25, a price so low you can buy several pairs. (www.payless.com)
5. Target. The store has worked hard in recent years to increase its selection of stylish shoes at low prices. Look for a number of vegan styles with runway looks. (www.target.com)
6. Chinese Laundry. Its wide selection of stunningly stylish vegan shoes includes strappy sandals, kitten-heeled pumps and Mary Janes. (www.chineselaundry.com)
7. Life Stride. Its nearly 100 percent vegan line of business and casual shoes can be found at department stores such as Dillard’s. (www.lifestride.com)
8. Alternative Outfitters. It stresses style, comfort and durability with its collection of pumps, heels, flats, wedges, sandals and boots. (www.alternativeoutfitters.com/)
9. T.U.K. Add a touch of edge to your wardrobe with retro-inspired heels, sneakers or chunky “vegan leather” boots. (www.tukshoes.com)
10. Journeys. The popular mall store has leather-free platform heels, skateboarding shoes and colorful sneakers. (www.journeys.com/catalog)
Of course – it is also possible to find vegan shoes at the standard places – vegetarianshows.co.uk, veganstore etc
