Steampunk has got a bit of catching up to do before it offers good choices for the fashionable vegan, but as it becomes more popular, the alternative vegan shoe staple companies are catching on and putting out more offerings. Sadly, this is a double edged sword as it means that, well, steampunk is now mainstream. On the other hand, if you like the style then you can actually now rock something cruelty-free and still look pretty cool.
So here we have another style from TUK who’ve already given us some nice Victorian-style boots. These are lovingly named “A7999L” and no, that isn’t some l33t speak or futuristic fantasy name, but a dull model number. Couldn’t they have come up with some fancy name for them? Oh well, at least they’ve got frills on the actual shoe, as well as nicely gothic lace panels and girlie scalloped bits.
The platform look may be more 1970s than 1870s but beggars can’t be choosers. These will fit a girlie steampunk or Victorian outfit nicely.
Get them at Endless.com.

They might not look it, but these utterly goth-tastic (or skull-icious, if you prefer) ankle boots are 100% vegan friendly. Ogle their dark awesomeness! Pointed toes, a little heel and, of course, the 3 skull buckles make them extra awesome, as long as you don’t take yourself too seriously (and what goth ever does, eh?)
I’m totally loving these and even though I know there is no shortage of vegan goth shoes (as there is no shortage of vegan goths), I do think it helps to have super awesome ones turn up every once in a while on this blog. Don’t you think?
You can get these lovely boots from Endless.
Good old Marks & Spencer. Just when I was about to give up on finding vegan boots in the new season lines of the high street retailers, here they are with uhh… at least one vegan boot (there are a couple of other stretch ones, I believe).
Yes, even Marks have gone nearly all leather this season, but these boots you see before you are the main exception and are actually almost, well, goth boots. They’re also a bit retro, if you ask me, and not too expensive at £49. Nice going, M&S.
You can get these from the Marks and Spencer’s site.
It’s been a while since I’ve written about proper goth shoes in this blog and seeing as I know plenty of goth vegans, I think it’s time for another look at what’s out there.
These impressive metal heeled platform boots are made by New Rock, known for making mostly leather cyber-biker boots.
Apaprently they have several ranges of vegan shoes now, all very goth looking with lots of metal and spikes.
I like these because I like my heels pretty solid and I do like the strapping, especially the straps on the actual heel. The shape of the toes is pretty intriguing too. Sexy!
If you’re into the goth / industrial / fetish style, then they’ll fit you like a latex glove.
I found them on a website called The Lair.
