2 New Online Resources for Vegan Shoes

January 31st, 2011

I’ve recently discovered 2 great new places to find vegan shoe options that I’ll be adding to my guide “where to find cool vegan shoes online“, which, by the way, I think is the best article on the web about how to find vegan shoes that are actually nice looking and presentable. As you can see, I am proud of it! It has a lot of good info in there, so please feel free to forward to friends or any people who might find it useful!

Now onto the new meat– soy protein textured faux meat that is.

The new sites I have found are:

1. H&M’s online shoe section

Like Forever 21, H&M sells cheap stuff, so their shoes are mostly vegan. Weirdly, they only sell small sizes online. Unfortunately I’m a 10 -11, so this is not an option for me, but if you have smaller to average size feet, check this out if you need some shoes.

Here are some of my picks from the site:

I love these and really wish they came in my size.

$14.99 cotton and rubber wedges in 3 colors

very cool $ 15 dollars wedge sandals in blue, black and gold

There are a lot of other cool looking shoes on the site. I’ll be adding this one to my Vegan Shoe Shopping Guide always available at the top of my website.

2. Gojane.com

This is a website, kind of like Lulus.com, or Delias. They seel cheap stuff, and cheap vegan shoes too. I like their options a lot. They have cool styles. This is a great place to check.

Here are some cool styles I spotted:

striped bow front espadrille wedge

striped espadrilles, $ 25.00

52269-BLACK

a ballerina flat in a very simple style, for $ 12.

52137-BLACK

floral heels, my favorite looking shoe. for $ 21.

51257-GOLD

If for whatever reason, you need to be partying in da club, then maybe you’ll find these useful. Hot!

What think ye all of these?

A new comment has made me spring back to life.

A commenter Rebekah wrote:

Blogging is HARD. All the research and fiddling with technical details, and sometime no one comments at all. But you CAN make a difference, and you ARE.

Yay. That is so sweet. Some comments of late have made me realize that people are still looking and failing to find vegan shoes, and as Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of PETA says, ONE can make a difference (that’s the name of a book she wrote). So with that in mind, I am going to update you all on some good new vegan shoes that have become available, while I’ve been Out Of Commission.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Forever 21 is the BEST source for cool vegan shoes on the web. Unfortunately they are what I call “unintentionally vegan” because they do not have animals interests at the forefront and are not a vegan company, however they have great styles and I almost never see leather used in any of their shoes. When there is leather in a shoe it is marked in the title as Leather or Suede, as far as I know. I saw 2 shoes out of hundreds that were real leather. I think this is mostly in the interest of keeping their costs low though, as opposed to some sort of awareness of the Leather Industry, but at least it means all their shoes are extremely cheap.

If only Forever 21 were a vegan shoe company, vegans would have a great resource for affordable, cool vegan shoes but at the same time, they’d know their money was supporting a company with the interests of animals in mind. Maybe this fantasy company could even work towards educating people about the leather industry and giving part of their money to animal rights causes.

Well, here are the shoes.

I will simply post some photos of the shoes I like with links to their page on Forever 21.

Tell me what you think of the shoes/ this post in the comments as I LOVE to hear from commenters. I’d love to know, what would your ideal vegan shoe company look like?
