However, it can be difficult to find sneakers that are truly vegan.
Being an ethical vegan means that you should not wear shoes that contain animal products or byproducts.
Therefore, shoe shopping can become a difficult task, especially when it comes to sneakers.
It would be easy to assume that all sneakers are vegan because they don’t tend to contain much leather.
However, that is quite far from the truth. Thankfully, in this article, we have compiled a list of 10 of the best vegan sneakers that you can buy today.
If you want a slightly more expensive vegan sneaker, these ASICS Gel-Kayano 26 shoes could be the ones for you.
These are another pair of sneakers that feature a knitted outer that helps to keep your feet cool and comfortable all day long.
The sole of the sneaker is shaped to keep your feet active and prevent fatigue from setting in.
The inside of the shoe features a signature foam lining that helps to provide the maximum level of comfort possible.
You really will feel like you are walking on air with these sneakers, all the while safe in the knowledge that you have prevented animals from coming to harm.
If you are an ethical vegan or just an ethical person in general, you will definitely have heard of TOMS before.
There are few footwear or clothing brands that are as ethical and thoughtful as TOMS.
Not only do they make some of the most comfortable vegan shoes on the market, but they also run schemes that allow shoes to be purchased for children who need them in underdeveloped countries.
If that wasn’t reason enough to immediately purchase a pair of TOMS classic canvas slip-on shoes, the quality of them might be.
All of the shoes in the TOMS range are incredibly durable, affordable, and comfortable.
Another great selling point of these shoes is that they are slip-on so you don’t have to fiddle around with tying your laces to ensure that your shoes last as long as possible.
ASICS is making yet another appearance on this list because they understand that the market for vegan sneakers is growing.
Their second vegan offering is the GT-2000 7 running shoes.
These sneakers are incredibly well-made and durable which makes them more than worth the price tag and really is the basic that you expect from a brand such as ASICS.
One of the best things about these sneakers that make them stand out from the crowd is the colors that they come in.
The black, red, and gold are a beautiful combination that helps to make the shoes look just as expensive as they are.
The ASICS sneakers feature the knitted outer that is becoming a running theme throughout this list, however, the rubber lip at the front of the sneaker helps to make them even more durable.
This small piece of rubber will help prevent the knitting and stitching at the front from becoming frayed and dirty too fast.
The second offering from Sketchers is the Ghenter Bronaugh work shoe.
Again, these shoes are a little more on the expensive side but that is to be expected with a popular brand such as Sketchers.
The good thing about opting for a well-known brand is that you are getting a product that you can trust.
Sketchers are so popular with people because they are comfortable and incredibly durable.
This is also true for the Ghenter Bronaugh work shoe.
If you have a job where you are on your feet most of the day, or you like to go on long, smooth hikes in your time off, then this is the vegan sneaker that you need in your life.
Final Thoughts
The fact that there are multiple options for vegan sneakers from extremely well-known and trusted footwear brands is incredibly hopeful.
The fact that the market for vegan sneakers is growing to the point where brands are making more than one vegan shoe shows that trends are shifting.
Soon it will be more common to have to check whether a shoe isn’t vegan than check whether it is vegan.
For now, this list should help you find your next vegan-friendly sneakers.
