Vegan red cowboy biker boots

Is it a biker boot? Is it a cowboy boot? No! It’s this red fashion hybrid boot from TUK!

Slightly less blatantly alternative than most of their range, these seem like more mainstream boots for the girl who likes a little bit of funkiness in her trendy footwear, without putting on the punk rocker, rockabilly or mod look.
Personally, I actually prefer their more wacky creations to these, as I think these could possibly look a bit cheap in real life. While many of TUK’s non-leather shoes can appear cheaply made under close inspection, the more alternative designs are so very cool-looking, nobody really stops to think about it and / or care.

These sort of pitch themselves up against more mainstream leather shoes and I’m not sure they would come up winners. I do like the overall look, though and I think they have a sort of kink in them that makes them somewhat funkier than some of the similar non-leather boots I’ve seen around.

You can get these on Amazon.com

Sexy and chic open toe vegan designer boots

New York City – vegan designer shoe capital of the world? Well, it would certainly seem so, as I just discovered yet another proudly vegan, eco-friendly, ethical shoe company that hails from there.

Just feast your eyes on these hot hot boots from the super stylish Cri de Coeur. These may come from NY, but they wouldn’t shame any Italian designer showing on the Milan fashion week catwalk.
They feature classic lines, trendy open toe and sides which is very very now, plus they are handmade, carbon neutral and totally feminine and sexy.

Pair these with a classically cut little black dress and some Gucci sunglasses and you’re laughing. Celebrities, get your wallets!

You (or your personal stylist) can get these from Amazon.com

Vegan strappy floral doc Marten look boots

Aren’t these punk (or punk rocker) boots neat? These aren’t actually by Doc Martens, they are by TUK, although they look pretty damn similar, if you ask me. As far as I know, DM don’t make vegan shoes anymore, so this is one of your alternative options. Ironically, these are made in China and I do believe DM killed off their vegan line when they took production out of the UK and into China.

These boots have got it all, at least when it comes to methods of fastening – they have laces, straps and hidden inside side zips. The pattern is very goth rose, (literally. It has roses on it) but I find it quite unassuming, myself. The shape of the boot makes it lend itself to other looks apart from goth royalty, which is good, as there aren’t as many all out goths nowadays as there used to be back in the day.

You can get these from Amazon.com.

If you’re looking for a solid-colour, unisex Doctor Martens lookalike boot, Vegetarian Shoes make some.

Vegan hiking sandals

After a week of crazy shoes, it’s time to get practical – adventure practical!

So here’s a pair of the kind of sandals you can wear when hiking, trekking (within reason) and generally walking about in a healthy, sensible, practical manner. Plus, they have a bit of pink in them, so they are still girlie at the same time, even though they are perfectly sensible and stuff. Apparently they are water-friendly, too, which I assume means they dry quickly and don’t rub your feet funny if you’ve been wearing them while crossing a river or sitting in a boat. Also good for summer festivals in countries that have a proper summer (and festivals).

I’m actually very fond of this type of sandal, though I find they usually stick some suede on for effect, thus ruining my chances of buying them.

You can get these vegan hiking adventurer sandals from Zappos.

Vegan nautical pumps

It’s back to the seven seas with another pair of nautical shoes! This time on the good ship Lollipop, we have these cute striped flats with a big red bow. Cuteness!

Although not sandals, these are definitely beach-ready in style and would look pretty cool on holiday (or in your every day environment if you have the nautical outfits to match and are feeling frisky). You can never have too many nautical things, if you ask me, and these are a fine option if you don’t want towering wedges, giant retro heels or anything else likely to make you fall overboard.

Simple, sweet and not too expensive, these are, so set sail to the Office website and grab yourself some fine loot.

Vegan heart flat pumps

How thoroughly odd. For some reason this post originally appeared empty but for a giant pic of these shoes. What can I say? My original intention was to include a somewhat more containable image of these and to write about how very jolly cute they are. They remind me of the dragon lady shoes by Melissa shoes, only they are flat. If you want to wear your heart on your, er, shoe but don’t like wearing heels, then now you can still sport a pair of bright red hearts (or different colour hearts, as there are a bunch of different options to choose from).

These are definitely pretty kooky, but you could still work them into an every day outfit if you wanted to be just a little bit different.

You can get these from Office.

Vegan denim boots

If you ever wanted a pair of jeans you could wear on your feet – here they are! These even have little pockets on them, how cool? I wonder if you can actually put anything in the pockets?

They manage to look quite trendy, even though I’ve never actually heard of a trend involving shoes that look like they’re made out of trousers.
But lest you take yourself too seriously wearing these, they have a totally bubbly lining full of fruity things, to remind you that boots that look like jeans may be sexy, but they are also quirky and ever so slightly mad.

You can get these vegan boots from Office.

Vegan strappy high top baseball boots

Let’s be honest – the reason I like these is that even though they sort of look like your average, vegan-staple canvas baseball boots, their strappiness makes them look a little bit like some kind of straight-jacket, which instantly makes them just a little bit more kinky than your average, vegan-staple canvas baseball boots.

You could totally play on that, if you wanted to, or you could just wear them as neat vegan boots with a side zip and straps instead of laces. I mean, not everyone has a somewhat sick mind like mine and would instantly think about insane asylums and bondage when seeing a harmless pair of simple canvas shoes, right? Right!

Either way, you could get these from Office.

Vegan light grey canvas walking boots with flowers

Well, the Palladium 90s look must be back, cause since I saw a pair of the originals on Schuh, I have noticed an explosion of them elsewhere. Here’s some from Office’s own brand, complete with a flowery lining that looks like something your gran would have as a wallpaper. Still, it’s not entirely uneasy on the eye, is it?

Yes, you can wear them as hiking boots, especially if you roll up the flowery bits so that the boots hold your ankle better. I admit that when I wore my similar pairs as hiking boots, it was in the desert where it was A. mostly dry and B. a very similar colour to these boots. You may want to get a different pair of vegan hiking boots if you’re going for a stroll in the English countryside.

These are not waterproof, but they do dry very quickly, plus they have the whole English garden thing going for them, so you can carry a bit of the countryside around with you.

You can get them from Office.

Vegan jeweled jelly sandals

Aren’t these fun? Writing about summery jelly sandals has gotten me in the mood for summer…And in the mood for jellies. And there’s always room for jellies, right?

These are made in Brazil by the other “original jelly shoe company” as in, not Melissa Shoes.
It’s handbags at dawn in a to-the-death fight for the title!

As you’d expect from a Brazilian shoe, they’re sexy as hell and beach-ready, perfect to wear with your teeny weeny polka-dot bikini. Isn’t it funny how a little fake stone can totally upgrade a shoe?

Yes, in a hot country where women spend so much time tanning on the beach and walking around in the sun, you gotta put some thought into your sandals, cause they gotta be both practical and sexy. Well, here they are!

I know it’s not quite summer yet, but I’m hoping if I keep posting up pictures of gorgeous summer shoes, we’re all just going to will it to happen. The sooner the better!

You can get these hot vegan sandals here.

There’s also a black, slightly different version with a starfish instead of a jewel.

Fun vegan rubber strawberry pumps

Another pair of shoes for girls with a good sense of fun. These silly rubber pumps, apart from being cute, will also stop your feet from getting wet (in extremely shallow puddles), but let’s not pretend anyone would ever buy these for reasons of practicality. If you’ve got a hidden Strawberry Shortcake inside you, then you’ll love jumping about in these. Check out the neat polka dot pattern inside, too!

They also come in another loud pattern that’s definitely not strawberry-oriented, but is sort of retro 70s European mixed with chic green and white polka dots inside.

You can get either one at the Chinese Laundry site.

The cutest flat vegan bow sandals

“Oh my god, I want these!” I cried. Yes, I actually did say this out loud when I saw these online. How cute? They come in a bunch of bold colours and they are just so summery and sweet.
I know summer in the UK seems very far off, but who cares? I could parade in front of the mirror in these and feel just as pleased with myself. I’m so totally in shoe-lust with these.

Leggings, skinny jeans, skirts, dresses, these would go with anything. The bow makes them somewhat retro, so I tagged them with that, though obviously they didn’t have shiny green PVC back in the 20s when art deco was the latest trend (these sandals are said to be art deco on the Chinese Laundry site). Either way, they fit the bill perfectly for a casual but different sandal.

You can get them from the Chinese Laundry site.

Vegan patent slingback bow sandals

It’s time for another pair of simple, summery and versatile heels. These peep toe sandals may not be the most outrageous or exciting, but they are the sort of shoes you can wear with everything.

Sometimes you just want simple, uncomplicated and useful shoes without all the designer or supertrend fanfare. Well, here they are.

If these were an outing, they’d be a few friends meeting in a chic cafe on a Saturday afternoon, rather than a wild night on the town, which isn’t to say you can’t wear these with your hot little black dress and make them work. It’s just the spirit of the thing, you know: all summery and girlie and stuff.

Anyway, you can get them from Next.

Vegan silver glitter peep toe heels

Well, you never know when you might need a pair of cheap silver glitter heels. I’d say, any time you want to make a bit of a memorable entrance, exit and, well, evening. You know people will be looking at your feet if you wear these.

They’re pretty cheap, which means we’re in the realm of cheapo vegan shoes. Coupled with them being high heels, they might not be the most comfortable heels on the block, but you never know. I’ve had some good luck with cheap buys, but also some bad luck. What’s certain is that these would fit very well with your sparkly outfit or even with your otherwise bland outfit you want to liven up a bit.

You can get these vegan party heels from Amazon.

Hot vegan high stiletto tattoo heels

Pure rockabilly fetish heaven! Here’s another totally outrageous pair of super high heels from Penthouse shoes. I’ve written about another pair of their vegan high heels before and I’m really getting into this brand. I wonder if they’re called Penthouse cause their heels are so high?

Not all their shoes have tattoos on them, but for some reason I seem to be drawn to those that do. So here we have a cute “love & hate” tattoo design on the platform, with a sexy red mock crock and a cute little key charm dangling from the heel. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ve also got cherries, swallows and stars everywhere. These guys take no prisoners when it comes to loading up on the rockabilly imagery. Pure pin up class all the way, baby!

Yes, I know these aren’t particularly practical unless you were born in heels, but posing also works for me. They are just soooo cool.

You can get these hot hot heels from Amazon / Endless.
