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.
I have to say, Marks and Spencer wouldn’t have struck me as the obvious place to go looking for stylish vegan shoes, but I was pleasantly surprised the other day when I checked out their shoe section. They seem to have a good selection of suprisingly sexy shoes and a significant amount of those are leather-free.
These so-called “trouser shoes” are a fine example: they are unassuming, yet sexy and could be equally at home with dull work clothes or a glorious outfit. The look is somewhat retro-esque with the chunky heel and all. In fact, they remind me a bit of women’s Oxfords, but instead of lacing, you get the modern (and slightly kinky-looking) zip, making it a good all-round shoe. Of course, anything that’s made of shiny patent PVC-type stuff is bound to look just a little bit fetish, which is definitely a fine look for any shoe.
You can get them on the Marks and Spencer’s web site for a refreshingly reasonable fee.
