Finally, it’s time to retire our winter boots and slip on a pair of fun, lightweight, play-all-day sneakers. There are plenty of brands to choose from that offer comfortable vegan shoes, no matter your style. Slip on a bright floral pair for a day full of outdoor shopping, or go for a more subdued yet stylish look when running errands. A quality sneaker allows you the freedom to move, without painful blisters, irritating sandal straps, or accident-prone heels. Check out these 7 vegan brands to find your perfect fit.
7 Perfect Vegan Sneaker Brands for Women
1. Native Shoes
We love a good slip-on, and Native Shoes offers a variety of slip-on sneakers that won’t crush the heel. The Jefferson comes in a wide array of colors, from basic white to bright colors of all hues. The brand also just released the Jefferson 2.0, which is a knit slip-on high-top. Essentially, it combines the comfort of a sock with the protection and durability of a shoe. We’re grabbing a pair in white to pair with comfy jeans and a cool v-neck.

2. Stella McCartney
Don’t want to wear heels to the party? Dress up without killing your feet with a cool pair of designer kicks from vegetarian fashion designer, Stella McCartney. Her playful, wedged sneakers will give you height and a bit of edge – be ready to turn heads. To make a statement, check out the Metalic Sneak-Elyse, which feature a shiny coral metallic finish. For a more subdued look, opt for the Eclypse White Sneakers.

3. TOMS
Not all TOMS shoes are vegan, but the brand does make an effort to provide vegan options. A classic pair of TOMS never goes out of style, and depending on the design, they can go with almost any casual outfit. For an everyday slip-on shoe, we love the Imperial Blue Dot Women’s Espadrilles. However, we also love TOM’s fun patterns for spring and summer. From whales to fireflies to ice cream cones, we can’t decide which to buy. It’s time for a TOMS shoe collection.

5. Pumas
Like TOMS, Pumas is not an entirely vegan company. However, we love their vegan options and hope our demand encourages them to ditch leather for good. For a flirty pair of sneakers, slip on the Basket Heart Hyper Sneakers. The shoe features grey man-made velvet with a floral design, topped with a big silver bow for laces.
