Vegan Shoes

We know it can be tough finding awesome looking vegan shoes, and you can spend hours researching brands, and materials. It can be difficult to find vegan boots and shoes with the same qualities as traditional leather footwear; smart and long lasting. But don't despair, certain brands produce hardy, high quality and stylish footwear from vegan leathers made from cork, kelp and other synthetic materials. 

If you want to keep your footwear collection cruelty-free, Dr Martens Vegan also offers an alternative shoes vegan range so you can enjoy the same awesome styles made from alternative materials. New Rock Vegan also has its own range of shoes made entirely from synthetic materials!

Cheap Alternative Footwear

For those on a tighter budget, there’s also Blue Banana’s range of super cheap Bleeding Heart and own branded shoes. If you would love a pair of womens gothic boots but don’t have the budget for something high end, then be sure to check out the Tall Boot range from Blue Banana and Bleeding Heart for a majorly eye-catching look. These smart shoes will help your outfit make a statement,whether you wear them at the office or as an everyday item.

If vintage is the style that rocks your life, then we recommend Banned footwear. Their vintage footwear ranges from high heel styles to adorable pumps and ballerina styles. Featuring bright colours and fun prints, this is the perfect way to bring the summer sunshine into your outfit all year round. Their vintage shoes often feature super cute applique design to the toe, from flamingos to cherries, so you can match your shoes with your clothes. So put on your favourite vintage dress and get the 50s style shoes to match.

We have taken a whirlwind journey around gothic footwear and vintage inspired shoes,with a quick stop to look at iconic trainers, but we know you are the real fashion experts. What we love best about our customers is that they aren’t afraid to make bold fashion choices, so why not mix it up a little and pair a shoe style you wouldn’t usually choose with your everyday wardrobe? Making a statement with your footwear can be the best way to recycle an outfit you have worn a ton of times.

We also have handy filters on our page to help you pinpoint exactly what you are looking for. Firstly, why not filter by size to make sure you are only seeing the styles that will fit you. Next you can shop by brand, shoe type or even colour! Use the filters to find products within your budget so you aren’t tempted to spend too much, or shop by the best discount to find a top brand at a bargain price. As you can see, we have tailored our online shopping experience around the things that really matter. To make it even easier for you we have also provided size guides with every product so you can get the perfect fit for you.
