Eco-Friendly Fashion Footwear: Cruelty Free Fashion Shoes Every Woman Must Have This Fall/Winter
By Sara Kubersky
Most Vegan women like myself dread of the thought that over 35
million beautiful, intelligent animals are killed just for their
fur or leather on their backs (and that’s only the wintertime!),
but that doesn’t stop us from being every bit as stylish as our
carnivorous counterparts. Except for the fact, that we only want
cruelty-free fashion, we have the same desire to collect dozens
upon dozens of sandals, sneakers, loafers, flip-flops, knee-high
boots, and other footwear for our shoe wardrobe. Ten years ago,
this would have been a challenge – one that would seem almost
impossible as all vegan shoes practically looked the same.
Nowadays, finding cruelty-free shoes isn’t as hard as it
sounds. Now more than ever, companies are beginning to cater to
those with a cruelty-free fashion sense and are now offering a
wider variety to choose from. As this trend continues to emerge,
the only challenge you will have is figuring out how many shoes
do you really need. You’ll have to begin asking yourself how
many of them do you really love, and how many fit well,
complement your fashion style and are versatile enough to serve
multiple purposes.
Here are 5 fall/winter fashion shoe styles to help you create a
cruelty-free shoe wardrobe so all encompassing, so perfect, that
no matter what the occasion is, you’ll have just the right
eco-friendly shoe
1. One pair of weather-protective footwear.
If you could only buy one boot in your life, an eco-friendly,
air-seal range boot like the 14-Eye Boot from Vegetarian Shoes
is the one to go with. If you spend a good amount of time
outdoors, go with two pairs. Air-seal range boots sporting steel
tipped toe and a sole made from rubber tires will provide you
with that everlasting quality you need and want.
2. One or two pairs of fashion boots in a medium or dark
neutral.
These leather alternative boots are classic enough for
work-wear yet sexy enough to add an edge to jeans and an
everyday tee. Top-of-the-calf boots with a flat heel are one of
the cold weather season’s hottest looks, but are surprisingly
in-demand even as the weather grows warmer. For those of you who
love the Engineer boots, but want something a little more
fitted, the Biker boots are perfect! When you’re feeling a
little “rebel”, wear them as biker boots. When your style is
more classic looking, just take off the buckle, instantly
providing you with simple, comfortable boots that go with
everything.
3. One pair of chic looking boots
Almost knee high boots like the Aurora, give you a chic look
with straight skirts and classic-cut trousers. They can be worn
with bare legs or opaque winter stockings. Plus, they work well
with formal and near-formal wear, they add sophistication to
jeans, and instantly dress up a denim skirt and cardigan like
nothing else can. You can also get the same look with Alta style
that is only 11” from the top of the shoe to the bottom of this
eco-friendly fashion footwear. The upper is made from the
highest quality synthetic micro-fibers while the lining is
usually comprised of extremely soft synthetic micro-fibers or
fleece.
4. One pair of neutral-colored casual boots for the weekend
A woman can never go wrong with classics such as the Amy boot.
Your weekend casual cruelty-free boot should have an extremely
soft and flexible sole making it extremely comfortable for all
day wear. Make sure your casual eco-friendly boots exteriors are
made of “leather” like synthetic micro-fibers giving you that
stylish look, while the interior is made of a soft cotton lining
and a generous foot bed that will accommodate your feet.
5. One pair of attractive non-leather sneakers.
The fall time is the perfect time to run around the track at
your nearby park, and enjoy your surroundings. Whether your
eco-friendly non-leather sneakers are made from hemp or
synthetic micro-fibers, they are go well with your tracksuit,
yet hard-working enough to perform at the gym. The best
athletic/sporty shoes are the pairs that have an extremely
supportive EVA sole, and a thick padded tongue.
If you follow the above tips you will create the perfect
eco-friendly fall/winter woman’s fashion footwear wardrobe, that
no matter what the occasion is, you will have the perfect
non-leather shoe. Remember, no one can have fashion without
compassion.
