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!
