Vegan shoes are shoes that contain no animal products at all. Whilst many vegan shoes may look like they are made from leather, they are in fact made from man made leather which is now very similar to the real thing, and in many cases actually better than natural leather. Vegan clothing was given popular appeal by the fashion designer Stella McCartney. However, now there are many other companies that produce Vegan Shoes, some of which are entirely mainstream.

For example, the shoe picture top right is the result of a collaboration between Vivienne Westwood and the shoe manufacturer Melissa. These shoes, this particular model being called the Vivienne Westwood Melissa Lady Globe Dragon Shoe, is worn by vegans and none vegans alike. It is made entirely from plastic.
