These TUK “Smooth Creeper Hearts Flats” are a sweet take on the original style. With heart-shaped eyelets and pink piping and sole they are super girlie but still, uhhhh, creepy enough to be true to style. They have a bouncy, thick rubber sole and, well, are just dishy!
As usual, TUK are doing the thing they’re best at – taking an existing trend and giving it a little bit of a twist to make you fit in but also stand out from your fellow scenesters.
If pink is not for you, don’t worry. They also come in a less girlie-girl black and white combo – classic!
You can get them at Schuh.
OK, so ballet flats are not exactly exciting, but they’re very useful – I end up wearing mine nearly all the time. Sometimes you just need a nice pair of every day shoes to put on. Shoes that are presentable, comfortable, versatile and pretty. Well, here they are.
Animal print never go out of fashion and neither will ballet flats. The knot effect at the vamp gives them a nice twist to keep things interesting and… voila! The perfect every day shoe. They come in a huge huge range of colours and fabrics. Not just animal prints – solids, lace, flower patterns, etc. Some are supposedly silk though, so beware.
You can get these from Amazon.
These cute vegan lace up jellies by F-Troupe are listed as “bathing shoes”, whatever that is. I guess that’s the only way brightly coloured, flat jelly pumps can get onto a semi posh designer’s collection. 
Whether you want to bathe in them is really your choice, but they are shiny and pretty and the open sides make them airy too. Good for summer, for your holiday or just to show off the electro-like brightness or funkiness. They come in lots of other colours. The ones available on this site are this blue, black or pink.
You can get them at gargyle.
In the UK, you can get them from http://www.f-troupe.com.
Finally! A vegan version of the famous TUK kitty shoes! the TUK Kitty Check shoe follows a whole line of these ultra neat kitty shoes that all came in leather. The checked version, on the other hand, is vegan, baby!
I’ve wanted a pair of the kitty shoes for so long. You won’t believe how happy I am to see these! Joining them in the vegan range are also the TUK teddy rotten mary janes. Sort of like a cross between punk and sanrio with superior strapping. Check em out.
You can get the lot from Schuh.
These cute and simple flat elastic pumps by Babycham have a cherry on top. Here it is!
They also have the very cute Babycham bamby logo on the back, plus a funky contrasting lining thing going on.
All in all, a handy pair of casual every day shoes with a sporty feel and a stylish edge. They might not turn heads, but anyone who does look at them will probably comment on how cool they are.
You can get them from Amazon.
Here’s another winner from the Rocket Dog simple, casual, yet funky shoe department. These trainer-esque flats come in either this handy grey or classic black and have lovely polka dot lining and, most importantly, a large polka dot bow at the front with a cute Rocket Dog logo button. You can practically wear them with anything and get a few “aaaaaaws” along the way.
They are called “Pogo”, maybe because they are so cute they’ll make you want to bounce around like an overexcited 5 year old.
You can get them on the Schuh website.
If you’re looking for ultra-girlie summer trainers then I do believe you may have found them. They have a totally young and casual vibe. Sort of…Middle class bohemian – virginal but easily corruptible (you know, cause they’re pale).
Just picture them with a white summery dress or jeans for the perfectly sexy “just fell out of bed and slipped those on” look.
They come in a few other colours, including an all white lace option which is also ultra cute.
You can get them from Schuh. They’re called Rocket Dog Snippet.
These Ventura flats by Rocket Dog are casual, girlie and simple, but they have neat piping and a pretty rosette to make them stand out from your average casual ballet pump. They look a bit like trainers, but not quite. Sort of like a hybrid between a ballerina pump and Vans.
They make cute and comfy shoes to slip on when you’re going somewhere that doesn’t quite require dressing up, but they’ll still look more fashionable than just plain black flats.
You can get them from Schuh.
How utterly cool! Here’s a wicked twist on your usual casual, simple canvas round-toed flats – a funky voodoo doll design. To make things even cooler, each shoe in the pair is different. I’ve seen quite a few shoe companies use this trick and it works really well, but usually it’s all leather. Boo.
These, however, are totally vegan. They are by Draven who make a whole load of cool vegan shoes that I will be reviewing on this very website soon. Check in this week for more Draven action, as I really like these guys.
In the meantime, you can get these from the Draven site in America.
I didn’t know Havaianas did anything but flip flops and those cool augmented flip flop things but apparently they make espadrilles as well.
These make perfect light summer shoes and are great if you don’t like wearing sandals but need something flat and breathable. Here’s the maddest colour combination I could find. Don’t you just love that purple?
They come in lots of different colour combination and Office, where I found these, seem to have a few sizes available in each colour.
Some stretch up to size 9, so could potentially be worn by blokes as well. Others, like this particular one, seem to only be available in small sizes.
You can get them on the Office site.
My friend Erin discovered these on eBay. Aren’t they totally hot?
Apparently they come in black as well, though I do like the red (but then I would).
They look comfy and seem great to wear with everything, as ballet pumps usually are, only you get the benefit of dancing skeletons and pretty flowers on the inside. Very Day of the Dead, I think you’ll find. As I am linking to an eBay listing, this link will probably expire at some point, but I’m sure eBay will give you a handy similar auctions list that will have other pairs of these pretty shoes.
In the meantime, you can click through to get them from the eBay site.
These white vegan creepers from Vegetarian Shoes are being discontinued, so this is your last chance to get a pair. The black version only has one size left but there are still a few sizes left in this white version.
These are European sizes and there are sizes in stock for both men and women, although they are running out fast, it seems.
If you’re into this retro look, you’ll know how hard it is to find well made shoes from this style that will last you years. Well, these are it. Vegetarian Shoes make them to last.
You can get them from the Vegetarian Shoes website.
These are so fun! I really want a pair of these. They’re by Irregular Choice, which is why they are so bright and crazy, even though they have a relatively simple shape. The other shoes in this range come with a fabric top, I think, but I am pretty sure these are rubber / plastic rather than fabric.
These are the sort of shoes that would make any simple outfit shine. You can instantly stand out even if you’re just wearing jeans and a t shirt. The lazy fashionista in me loves that.
You can get them directly from Irregular Choice.
A while back, I wrote about these vegan canvas hiking boots from Office. Well, now their little sister shoes are on sale. They’re sort of similar as you can see, but low-top rather than high-top and navy blue with a different flower pattern inside. They’re also only £10.
They are very 90s but I hear that’s all coming back. Plus, these are good if you don’t like leather-look shoes and want to stick with stuff that is obviously and visibly not made of leather. They also come in the high-top version. I used to wear shoes like the high-top ones as a teenager as hiking boots. They’re not quite as good as proper vegan hiking boots but they do hold your foot quite well and while totally not waterproof, they do dry incredibly quickly and look cute.
You can get them in the Office sale.
These are just soooooooo cool! I love the so-called “heartshaped” toes. They look like those Chinese and Japanese toe-shoes and socks.
The design in general looks rather far-eastern, with lots of pretty flower patterns. Like all of the IC shoes, these are statement shoes. They will easily take over a look and, whille an obvious talking point, you’ll need to think a bit before you match them with something that isn’t an easy solid.
Still, they will totally dress up a simple jeans and a t shirt or summer dress outfit and you’ll have everyone asking you where you got them.
Tell them you heard about them here and bought them cheaply on Amazon.
