Here’s another mad pair of boots from the Irregular Choice vegetarian range. These are fresh in from the autumn collection and feature a strange sculpted shape that sort of changes profile up your leg, plus a whole load of tassles and a big shiny star thing on the heel.
They’re black enough to go with all your outfits, but mad enough to stand out and be counted.
You can get them from the Irregular Choice site.
If you like your heels impossibly high and posh then here’s the pair for you. They are by Stella McCartney and are black and silver satin with a heel to die for. There’s a beautiful pattern on the back to complete the look.
These would definitely turn heads and are reasonably priced on Yoox for designer heels. they are the sort of shoes you could easily pick up for a special occasion even if you are not usually the designer shoe buying type.
Yoox specialise in previous season discount designer gear so not all sizes are in stock but there is still a good choice of sizes up on the site. Check out the Stella McCartney section for more vegan designer shoe finds.
Available on the Yoox Site.
Well well well, another fine shoe from Olsen Haus. They are certainly not 80s-free but they are oh so bold and stylish. I’m really loving the combination of the two patterns.
They are called “Swim” – maybe because the blue pattern looks like the surface of a swimming pool? It reminds me of those movies about condo complexes in LA in the 80s.
These are on sale at Neon Collective, which is a very cool vegan online boutique in the UK. I’ve had an email from them a while back and never got around to including them here for some reason, but it’s about time I did. They have lots of other cool shoes, including a big range of Olsen Haus stuff.
The direct link to the above shoes is here.
Oh these are very cool. They are officially unisex, which means you can get them in women’s sizes too, though I think they are really more manly than girly.
They come in a few colour and material choices, but so far this plaid fabric option is the only vegan style. They’re certainly pretty amazing, though, these. I totally love Fluevog shoes and I’m really glad there’s at least one vegan style for both men and women (though I’d love to see plenty more).
If your inner hipster has been withering away inside, in need of some really hot vegan shoes to wear, then these are totally it. Although they are effectively simple casual shoes, they do it oh so well with that extra bit of X-factor most shoe companies would kill to have.
You can get these from the Fluevog site.
Oh sweet mother of awesome! Fluevog make such gorgeous shoes but I always thought they were all leather. But while it’s true they are 99% leather, they also make a couple of vegan ones and these absolutely lovely vintage / retro boots are one of those styles.
Just the heel alone is worth spending the money. Oh yeah, they are totally not cheap, these, but they are ever so delectable so why let a few hundred bucks come between you and true love?
Considering how hot their leather shoes are, having ones made of microfibre or canvas or whatever these are seems a bit, well, second best, but it’s definitely more eco-friendly than having shoes made out of PVC. Plus, you need only look at these to realise how incredibly hot they’re going to make you look.

I’m always happy to discover a new designer vegan footwear company. This time it’s Charmone, who make ethical, eco-friendly vegan shoes in Italy, apparently using some sort of microfibers that look and feel like leather. There you go.
I do love these very unusual red platforms. Check out the shield thing at the front. Somewhat oriental and it definitely turns an otherwise bog standard platform sandal into something of a conversation piece.
You can get these directly from Chamone.
These are amazing! Yes, they are really made out of recycled plastic bags. The woman who makes them apparently heats up the bags or something and the process transforms them into a flexible, non-toxic material fit for shoe-making.
The inside of the boots is apparently lined with fabric to make them easier on the feet. Check out the website for photos of the different colours and patterns there are. Absolutely amazing! Apparently they only cost $45 too!
The bad news is that this is a blog, in Spanish and the Facebook group I found says that the designer has not been answering emails lately (even before the recent earthquake, so hopefully not related).
I will update this post if and when I hear more about how to buy these. I so want a pair (or several!)
The designer’s name is Camila Labra and her blog is here.
My dream summer shoes are here!
These are just so lovely in so many ways. I love the bright red colour, I love the flower design that’s just so weird and wonderful and I love the fact that they’re by Melissa Shoes, so will therefore smell like bubble gum for a while. My feet will be very happy once I get my hands on a pair of these.
They are apparently designed by Brazilian designer, Isabela Capeto especially for Melissa, which explains the girlie, beach-girl charm they have.
You can get these from Coggles.
I sort of like Stella McCartney. I’d like to like her more than I do, because the world needs more vegan designer shoes, but she does use “eco-leather” in some of her shoes, which is not very vegan or even vegetarian. It’s like having a gourmet restaurant that says it’s vegetarian and then serves fish. Still, some of her shoes are indeed vegan and very gorgeous, like these plastic-fantastic heels that are just…wow. I’m not entirely sold on the colour, but am loving the design and the use of lucite, which instantly takes me back to the spirit of the 50s, before plastic became the material of choice.
This is when I get really happy about having vegan (or mostly vegan) designers out there, as vinyl shoes are not unheard of in high-fashion circles, but you’ll usually get something cruel and unnecessary like a leather lining or insole to make you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.
Here you can just enjoy the beauty of the shoe itself.
You can get these (at a discounted price) from TheOutnet.com
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
Well, it’s been a while since the last time I wrote about Olsen Haus shoes and their new spring line is out, so now I have an excuse to write about them again. So here we have a gorgeous pair of proper designer sandals – simple, classic and yet unique and exciting at the same time. I like that they make flat shoes too and that they are just as hot as their heeled shoes.
No wonder so many celebs wear their shoes – their designs are just so… slick and clean.
You can get these neat vegan sandals from Olsen Haus.
More rain boot fun! This time, though, they’re by Melissa shoes and designed by Vivienne Westwood. Sure, they cost more than your average wellie, but they’re, you know, Vivienne Westwood, so will make you instantly 10 times cooler.
These are cute cute cute with their little side buttons that make them fit in with the military-style look while simultaneously also being young, funky and waterproof. I’m quite charmed by the blue colour, I must say.
If you were going to wear one pair of rain boots this year and look incredibly hip and fashionable nonetheless then these are definitely the ones. Pretty pretty but remember that Melissas run a size small.
I found these here.
How totally awesome are these? Grey with tan may not be the obvious choice but these seem to make it work. I like the whole casual, alternative yet ultra hip and stylish feel these have. The strappy bits are just a tiny bit kinky, too, but totally not in an overt way.
I gather this is Gwen Stefani’s label and I do like her style. Apparently it’s huge in the Far East, which is hardly surprising with a name like that and a look like that which is indeed very Japanese-inspired.
I’ve tagged them with “crazy shoes”, but mostly because one of the other colour combinations they come in is fairly crazy. You can get that one elsewhere and also a black / brown version which is also very cool. The black and the grey versions are very respectable, I find.
You can get these particular grey vegan boots from Zappos
Lovely, lovely boots from your friendly, ultra-modern vegan designers at Olsen Haus.
They have the coolest shape and the paint splash design makes them look all funky and arty. You know… Like you just stepped out of your art studio to go dance all night at NY’s hottest new club. That kind of thing.
They come in black as well, of course, which would also make you stand out in a crowd but I do so like the red. I guess black with a white paint splash is a bit more versatile, though.
These are really lovely boots. $235 is quite a lot, but at least these actually look like proper designer shoes. So if you want to share the joy of spending a significant part of your monthly income of shoes just like your leather-wearing buddies, then here’s a good opportunity.
You can get these from the Olsen haus site.
Oh I do like these. The are called “Blondie”, so I am wondering whether they’re inspired by THE Blondie. It could well be, cause they are sexy but not in a slutty way and have that hot patent (some kind of more enviro-friendly PVC is it?) patch mixed in with the grey suede-like thing.
The heel looks like a reasonable height too, but definitely sexy.
At $265 they may be a bit steep for some, but boy are they hot…
I could talk all day about these boots, really, but I’m not going to. I’m just going to look at them instead and think of where I can get $265 from. If anyone from Olsen Haus is reading, I write even better reviews of shoes that I own 
I’m not sure where you can get these particular vegan suede boots from, but you can see them on the Olsen Haus website where you can find store locators or email for more info.
