Vegan Shoe Addict

Yay, glitter! These brogue flats look like dancing shoes and have white glitter where the standard white would be. To be perfectly honest, I actually prefer the design of Office’s standard version of these, without the glitter because the lines look cleaner and the lacing is a bit more delicate. Guess what, though? Those aren’t vegan and these
certainly are. They also come in a rather dishy all blue version (blue glitter and plain blue PU).

These look a bit like dancing shoes and while not exactly pro quality dance shoes, I reckon you could quite easily wear them as such if need be. As I’ve mentioned here before, vegan shoes
usually come with not very grippy soles, which may be bad for walking on the slippery pavement if it’s been raining a bit too much (depending on the individual shoe), but is perfect for the dance floor.

You can get these from Office.

When I have a slow day finding hot vegan shoes in unexpected places, I turn to the usual suspects, in this case, Vegetarian Shoes.

Here’s a new pair from their range – a classic and feminine brogue shoe in very versatile black.
They do some brogue patterned shoes for men as well, which can be handy if you’re a bloke.
Otherwise, I think these lady version shoes are going to answer a few prayers around here, including some of my own. Brogues are a stable of the retro scene but all the cool designers use leather and the cheap knockoffs are usually very poorly made.

You can get these from Vegeatarian Shoes.

Cuteness! These vegan brogues are brand new from Vegetarian Shoes. You can apparently pre-order them now.

They have an updated brogue look – the heel is definitely modern – so would go with anything old and new. personally, I prefer black or black and white, but it’s good to have options. Especially considering the fact that options are often sadly lacking in the non-leather shoe department.

Obviously, being from veggie shoes, you know they are 100% vegans (including glue), ethical and well-made.

There seems to be an explosion in vegan brogue styles recently and I, for one, am very pleased!

You can get these from Vegetarian Shoes.

Here’s a cool pair of vegan brogues for the guys. I’d say they’re more in the realm of work shoes than, say, the ultra-cool vintage brogues you’d wear with your zoot suit, but they are still pretty funky.

I really like the pattern both inside and out and the pointed toe is cool. It’s second only to the rounded toe in my book (I loathe square toed shoes for blokes). All in all, these are actually pretty retro and smarter than the Vegetarian Shoes brogues I wrote about a while back.

If you’re a vegan guy looking for a cool pair of shoes to wear with your suit to work, etc. then you should definitely take a look at these.
They’re made by NOHARM who are 100% vegan, ethical and cool. Handmade in Italy.

You can see these on the NOHARM site where you can find out where to get them.

Ooooh look at these lovely brogue boots, new at BBoheme. Super simple, stylish and good for everything. I love shoes that you can just wear every day with practically every outfit and they’d be good for work too. I already wrote about vegan brogues before, but never boots, so this is quite exciting.

OK, so they’re not exactly a pair of secretary heels, but I love the flat heel and the brogue look and think it works really well with tights and a dress or a skirt, as well as with straight-leg trousers, leggings or… well, like I said, everything.
I’ve seen nicer leather brogue boots before, but isn’t that usually the case? These are perfectly cute and would make very useful shoes to have.

Bourgeois Boheme are a company that only sells 100% vegan shoes and they are a small independent business with good ethics. These vegan brogues are from their very own range.

Another one to add to the list of vegan brogues and wingtip shoes – these lovely vegan high-heel oxfords from Beyond Skin. They’re called “serpent” and it’s not difficult to see why, cause they are totally femme fatale material – so superbly vampy.

The addition of a 4″ heel to the originally masculine oxford pattern is not new, but Beyond Skin do it with style and grace. These definitely top the list for a pin up bombshell vegan brogue.

These shoes are handmade in Spain to be hard-wearing and comfortable. They are certainly hot enough to be party shoes, but also smart enough to be very stylish work shoes. Check out the video of the shoes in action on the Beyond Skin site, very film noir (in a colourful, sunny sort of way).

I’m loving the extra femme fatale red contrasted with black in this colour combo, but you could also happily opt for more traditional grey and black or all-brown versions.

These hot vegan brogues are available from Beyond Skin.

Wingtip brogues and oxfords have been gracing the feet of many retro fashionista for quite some time now. And with the retro style being so in nowadays, I figured I’d write a bit about the classic wingtip brogue shoe.

This is obviously quite a masculine style and these Airseal brogues from Vegetarian Shoes come in some men’s sizes too (and apparently run large for almost one size so could actually fit some reasonably big blokes). They clearly resemble Doc Martens and Grinders but are 100% vegan and come from a UK-based, ethical company. Vegetarian shoes make shoes that last and in my experience they are generally very comfortable too. Not cheap, but at least you get your money’s worth.

These are available from Vegetarian Shoes. They also come in an all-black version.
In the USA, you may be able to get them from Moo shoes, though I think they only carry the black version.

These women’s brogues are by Dirty Laundry and come in a range of colours and vegan materials, including brown and all-black in patent, waxed (matte) and even fabric.
They don’t look quite as classic or as sturdy as the Veggie shoes ones, but are slightly more girlie.

They are available from Dirty Laundry.

This somewhat battered pair of Melissa Shoes Joy Brogues is my own personal pair (seen here with matching cat) that I’ve been wearing all the time for well over a year. As you can see, they’re not quite as glorious as when they were new (here’s what they look like new), but are still quite striking, very feminine and people keep thinking they are proper tap or swing shoes and rarely notice they are made of plastic. I get compliments every time I wear these. They’re super comfortable instantly, but run a size small like all Melissa shoes I’ve tried.

The only place you can still get these in black and white is eBay on occasion (and maybe some random shops in far away places still have them), but the Melissa brogues come in a load of colours and combinations and new colours come out every season, so you can probably find some variation on this theme somewhere. Current season hits include some “flock” (velvet-like plastic material) numbers as well as an all-black Swarovski crystal-decked specimen for the small price of about 200 quid. Past collections included all-pink, gold and metallic purple.
