Vegan Shoes you can find in Australia.

 

When thinking about veganism, many people presume that what you eat is the extent of the lifestyle.

Whilst what we eat is a huge part of the equation, there are so many other areas where as a vegan we can make a difference to the animals.

We thought we would take a look at some vegan options for when it comes to what we wear on our feet. Many companies use leather (a cows flesh) and wool ( The coat of a sheep) to produce their footwear. As vegans we want to avoid any animal products in what we use and consume and so here are a few alternatives to look out for.

 

The classic ‘big stomper’ now provides a number of vegan alternatives to their heavily leather range. In 2019 their profits have risen 70% from the previous year thanks to the success of their vegan range!
