Being vegan doesn’t just mean cutting out animal products from your diet; it also means cutting out any clothing articles that are made from animals.
There are many vegan clothing brands around the world; however, while pieces like shirts, pants and dresses are easier to find with the many materials available, shoes are not as easy.
There are quite a few all-vegan shoe brands out there; however, non-vegan brands also offer vegan footwear. It’s sometimes hard to find the right pair of shoes, so here is our list of the top 10 shoe brands that carry cruelty-free shoes.
Olsenhaus

The linings of their shoes are made with eco-lining and their soles are made with composite rubber. In addition, their glues are rubber-based and the paint they use is non-toxic.
