Comfortable Vegan Shoes
Hands down, our favorite shoes are Crocs.
I used to be a big fan of Birkenstocks with the Birko-Flor, but they are no longer made and are difficult to find. No matter, since as comfort goes, Crocs are superior in every way. Wearing them feels like you are walking on marshmallows. These are the only shoes my daughters own. My youngest especially likes the new Croclings. There are new designs coming out all the time; be careful not to purchase the ones with leather or suede! It certainly doesn't hurt that Crocs are airport friendly, also. In fact, you just might find a Crocs store at your local airport. They make the perfect traveling shoe.
You can even personalize your Crocs with Jibbitz.
If you are looking for fancy vegan shoes, casual vegan shoes, or vegan athletic shoes, check out these sites (I've purchased shoes from each of these places):
Moo Shoes
Vegan Essentials
Vegetarian Shoes
Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe
These companies (and many more) carry great vegan "pleather" jackets, purses and belts, as well as shoes. Vegan leathers usually cost significantly less than animal derived leathers. They also stand up to wear better, last longer, breathe better, and are more comfortable. There really is no good reason to purchase animal skins.
It's great to know that big named brands such as Nike are making vegan shoes now, too. PETA makes a great "Quick Reference: Guide to Compassionate Clothing". Check it out next time you are in the market for new clothing, shoes and accessories.
