Vegan Shoe Addict

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.

Well, these are pretty odd aren’t they? Sort of like some sort of foot-flower thing. They have a zipper on the back too, to add to the sexiness. Definitely an unusual pair of shoes and pretty cheap too.

There’s something about these that makes them rather sexy, I think. They could be paired up with a slinky, sexy outfit and almost be quite fetishy.

Oddly enough, they also come in a weird shade of pink too (also with silver). I think the black is definitely the winner here, though.

You can get these weird vegan heels from Dorothy Perkins.

I am rather fond of silver shoes and these are totally cool. I love the red bits and the stitching effect is a really nice touch too. This is another shoe that could probably work with a deco look if you weren’t too fussed about being 100% authentic but just wanted to look stylishly cool.

These shoes are by Neuaura who are a 100% vegan shoe company. I want to really like their shoes, but I don’t always, because some of them, I find, don’t look that great up close (at least in pictures, I’ve never actually seen one in the flesh, I must disclose). These, however, look pretty cool. The shiny patent finish in the silver colour means they’ll get attention no matter what and everyone will be too blinded by their shiny, reflective light to think anything but happy thoughts about the whole experience.

You can get these at Vegan Chic.

You gotta love the sales! Take a look at these nice red heels from Dorothy Perkins. They are now only £15.

I love the mock snakeskin design on top of the faux suede. It looks almost like flames or a sort of fringe. Quite rock’n'roll in its own little way.

In fact, I reckon you could match these up with a modern rocker outfit or even a retro 50s style one and it would work. I’ve tagged them with the retro tags because of that, even though they are decidedly not so retro in shape. We’re talking cheap shoes here, so I wouldn’t expect miracles, but for £15 you can afford to go wrong.

They’re currently in the sale and sizes are running out, so you really want to be quick if you want to get them.

I found them on the Dorothy Perkins site.

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.

What strange shoes! Check out the glittery heel and platform in a shade that looks sort of like gold but not quite.
They have a solid-looking chunky heel and a little platform so should be quite comfortable to walk in and seem to be made out of some sort of fabric. Apparently this is your last chance to grab a pair on the Dorothy Perkins site as they are almost sold out. In fact, some sizes seem to already be gone.

The way the platform sits on the bottom of the shoe is a bit odd, but I still like these. They are pretty unusual and could make pretty sweet party shoes without being too over the top.

At £35 I wouldn’t expect them to be the best shoes you’ll ever buy but I do so love the combination of black and shiny glitter! Although not quite retro in shape, I do think they’re quite pin-up looking still. My inner magpie is definitely keen.

These black and gold (?) vegan platform pumps are available from the Dorothy Perkins site, but apparently not for long!

These platform heels by Chinese Laundry are the sort of shoes that go with just about everything. The platform means they are more comfortable to walk in, in spite of their height, and the heel doesn’t look *too* rickety. I love the sexy knot detail at the front and the strapping looks like it would be quite flattering.

I have a very similar pair of platforms that I got years ago (not sure who they’re by) and I do get a lot of wear out of them, because they are comfortable to walk and dance in and make me effortlessly 4″ taller. They do have a thicker platform, mine, but these ones do look like they’d be reasonably stable.

These are the sort of shoes you could practically live in. My similar platforms are my default choice for just about any dressy outfit.

You could wear these to the office (when the weather’s nice), a smart do, lunch with your friends or a funky party – they’d fit right in!

Available in classic black or a pretty lush shade of attention-grabbing red from Chinese Laundry.

Here are some cheap leopard print heels from Next. They’re pretty cute, surprisingly retro and, while not the world’s most amazing leopard pin up heels, they do the job nicely.

You could wear them with jeans quite happily or with a cute 50s outfit and they would blend in quite well with your overall look. Obviously, I’m thinking about these in a 50s pin up look context, but animal prints seem to always be in fashion, so I’m sure you could find a whole array of more current looks those would fit in with (though, of course, the 50s bombshell look is very current).

At less than 30 quid, don’t expect any head turning miracles from these – they won’t quite carry your outfit on their own.
They are, however, a great, cheap pair of heels you could pick up quickly to match to a particular dress or outfit, without worrying about it too much. In fact, this is exactly what many retro and vintage aficionadas (that’s female aficionado for you)do when they need something to go with a particularly eye-popping ensemble.
If you’re going to match these to something with a leopard print pattern of its own, though, make sure the patterns don’t clash!

These vegan peep toe heels are available from Next.

Well aren’t these cute? A pretty retro-esque peep toe design and shiny shiny silver contrasted with black make these really rather dishy. They actually look a bit art deco (OK, so that’s stretching it a bit, but you could definitely wear them with a deco dress). Definitely pin up material.
Perfect for those times when glitter or sequins may be a little bit too much for your chosen party outfit, but you still want your inner magpie to be kept happy.

Wouldn’t these look lovely with a slinky black outfit and some big matching jewllery? Oh hell, I can think of a whole load of outfits these would go so well with.

At 28 UK pounds, you could practically impulse buy your way to silvery bliss which would hopefully carry you through the party season in style.

These silver vegan heels are available from Next.

Here we have some pretty insane shoes by Faith. These 3-toned slingbacks are, well… I’ll let you be the judge of that, as I’m sure opinions will be pretty evenly split on the love or hate scale. The skinny, high heel is a bit break-neck, but if you’d stuck a chunky heel on these they’d be straight out of the swinging shaggadelic 60s. Purple, silver and what appears to be psychedelic snakeskin, plus, let’s not forget the utterly crazy winged-sandals design, these are certainly in a class of their own.

My own personal jury is still out on these, but I thought I’d share them anyway because you definitely don’t see shoes like these every day, especially vegan ones. If these are the shoes for you, then you’re already sold.

You can get them on the Debenhams website.

These high-heeled shoes by Miss KG are pretty special. In a good way. Although not sequinned, the metallic material gives them a rather sophisticated shine and the design is the perfect combination of classic and modern. Plus, they totally look like something a bond girl would wear. Or a futuristic showgirl.

It can get pretty difficult sometimes to find vegan shoes that go with high fashion, but I’m pretty sure you could match these with some high-end outfits without feeling too hard done by. OK, so when you look closely, they are not quite designer, but with everyone around you dazzled by their silvery light, who’s gonna know?

Surprisingly, these are available from Debenhams.
As it turns out, Debenhams is another hidden gem for vegan shoe hunters. I’ve already got my eye on a few other choice creations from their range, so I will be posting about them soon.

Luckily, sparkly party shoes that are both vegan and hot are not so hard to come by. Sequins, sparkles and shiny materials are generally synthetic, so the only snag is the choice of lining, sock and sole (and the glue, but I will write about that another time).

Here is a little selection of pretty sequinned shoes I found while looking around the interweb:

You don’t always have to be tottering round on heels to go all sparkly. Ballerina flats are everywhere and there is a fine choice of vegan versions. These black sequinned ones from Office are a good example – simple, comfortable but nice enough to wear out if you prefer dancing in flats.

These are available on the Office Shoes website, though I have seen similar versions all over the place.

I wrote about some amazing Iron fist shoes only yesterday and here is another piece of shiny greatness. These “ruby slippers” shoes are light, fun and somewhat punk/emo with the stripey detail. They’d definitely stand out but are not all out “out there” like some of their other shoes. More of a wink than a twist, if you will.
They are available via Office Shoes.

These vegan party heels from Marks and Spencer may not be much to write home about design-wise but they are, well, purple, which gives them a whole lot of points in my book.
If you love purple as much as I do then you will love being able to wear these vegan purple heels out on the town. They are not exactly high fashion, but perfect for matching with those outfits that demand purple footwear and won’t be placated by black. You can get them via Marks & Spencer’s website.

Something different in the midheel department. These cute little vegan booties from Office’s own range come in black and also in bright blue. They are called “marvellous sequin”, which is kinda apt, don’t you think? I personally prefer the black, but you never know when you might need a pair of blue sequinned heels! Definitely an unusual style that would still fit in with a whole range of outfits from the mainstream to the quirky and beyond.

Get them at, you guessed it, the Office website.

And to finish… Another flat option, this time from Rocket Dog. These stripey zebra flats come in silver and black (pictured) or silver and purple and have pointy toes which make them seem even funkier. I think you need to have a healthy sense of fun to wear these and they would certainly brighten up an outfit.

Party season is almost upon us and you know what they say: tis the season to be sparkly!
Over the next few days, I will be listing my top finds for this year’s shiny, sparkly, glittery vegan party shoes to help all you disco divas make an impression.
Sequins are apparently very hot this season and you can see them on anything from 70s and 80s throwbacks to mini dresses and even leggings. All you need is the perfect pair of sparkle shoes to complete the look.

To start us off, I thought I’d start with these sequin skull heels by Iron First. Why? Well, for one, Halloween is only a few weeks gone and I, for one, have fondness for skulls. Also, these shoes are pretty damn marvellous!
Offered in two different colour combos – black and red (vampire classic) and green and purple (traditional ghoulish colours of choice) – these shoes are funky, shiny and yes, totally hot.


These are truly happy party shoes with a bit of a dark twist and a sense of humour too. I love them. My only problem is deciding which of the two colours I want more.

These vegan sequin skull heels are available in the UK at Office shoes and in the US directly from Iron Fist.

Just look at these crazy platform heels! OK, I know what some of you are thinking – bright pink and purple velvet platforms with a 5″ heel might be just a teeny weeny bit too much. But if you are the sort of person who likes your shoes to make a bold statement, then these sexy party heels are definitely for you.

These 100% vegan heels are undeniably a love em or hate em thing. One thing is certain, though – they will certainly make an impression.

I’m all for loud, striking statement shoes myself, and these peep toes definitely fit the bill. The 5″ heel and platform make this design very flattering. The colours are definitely modern, but the shoes do have a classic feel that’s also a little bit retro. You’d need some guts to wear these, but with the right outfit, they could look pretty elegant.

Personally, I’d wear them with black or jeans or something equally understated, as they can definitely speak for themselves and take over any outfit. I can also see them as the perfect accessories to  a totally outrageous, over the top outfit, if done tastefully, but anywhere in between could end up looking just a tad too garish.
