It’s easy to find trendy footwear that’s not made from an animal! As more people become informed consumers, vegan fashion brands are popping up all over the world.
During the spring and summer months, don’t show off your open-toed shoes made from animal skin, dyes, and gelatin-based adhesives.
Instead, you can purchase a cruelty-free alternative. I’ve created a list of trendy vegan sandals that’ll make your search much easier.
To help you narrow down your options, I’ve highlighted key points about each brand, including price ranges, style options, where you can buy them, and any other important information, including environmental sustainability information.
With this Vegan Sandals Guide, you can quickly find brands that are:
- In your price range
- the type you’re looking for (women’s, men’s, kids’, etc.)
- available in your location (or will ship to you)
- eco-friendly
This list of vegan sandals will continue to grow as I discover new, trendy vegan brands. Be sure to come back in the spring to see what’s new!

Birkenstock has an entire vegan shoe line to choose from! While the German shoe brand is not traditionally vegan, they have introduced a cruelty-free alternative that includes many styles and varieties.
Traditional Birkenstocks are made with leather, but the vegan collection uses birko-flor, a synthetic, durable material that isn’t made from animals.
Birkenstock sandals, including their vegan sandals, are more expensive than many brands, but you are paying for high-quality footwear that will last a long time.
This brand is perfect if you are looking for vegan walking sandals. Birkenstock shoes are known for having a contoured footbed that prioritizes comfort and support — perfect for a long day on your feet.
Because Birkenstock shoes are durable, they are pretty sustainable because you won’t be tossing them in a couple of years. They are also manufactured using renewable resources, like cork and latex. Read more about Birkenstock and sustainability here.

Dr. Martens, also known ad Docs or Doc Martens, is an English shoe and clothing brand. Their shoes are known for being extremely durable and comfortable — hence the term “airwair” which refers to the brand’s air-cushioned sole.
An overwhelming majority of Docs are made with leather, but due to consumers’ demands, the brand began releasing vegan alternatives to their popular footwear. Now men and women can wear identical-looking but cruelty-free versions of these trendy gladiator sandals.
Dr. Martens shoes are on the expensive side, but the durability makes the price worth it. They even teach you how to care for your Docs on their website.
