Vegan wedding shoes?

I’m not in the know with the new terminology. So what exactly are vegan shoes? Are you referring to fake leather/pleather shoes? If so, what style and color are you looking for? Pumps, flats, strappy heels? Other?


Pictures of some styles you like would be helpful.

View Quoted Comment Hi! What I mean is, I’d like shoes with no leather, specifically. Here are two photos of a pairs I like. Open toed, heels (preferable 2/12-3/13), ivory or champagne, some embellishment.

Most less expensive shoes won’t be real leather. I’d look on Amazon it’s where I found mine, rather than a department store where they’re gonna be better quality. I could look it up to confirm but at $30 I’m positive there’s no real leather in mine lol.

Have you looked into hemp shoes? There's lots of cool stuff out there. Google it.

View Quoted Comment I’ve been on an unending google search, and nothing has come up that isn’t very plain . Thank you for the suggestion though! I guess I’m looking for a specific brand that might not exactly come up in Google.

If you want bling, try Badgley Mischka Jewel. The shoes you showed are Badgley Mischka. Badgley Mischka shoes are made of real leather and usually cost in the $300 range, but their Jewel line uses synthetic materials (ie vegan leather) and are closer to the $100 range and have similar styling.

I would not search specifically for vegan shoes, because that term isn't generally used with luxury merchandise (because vegan leather is PU leather or a synthetic product, which is generally considered inferior to genuine leather) or bridal fashion. "Vegan shoes" are a pretty trendy concept and I think there are probably plenty of synthetic or non-leather shoes out there that just aren't using that term to market those products. Instead, just look for shoes you like and read the materials description to determine whether animal products were used or not. There are a lot of non-leather bridal shoes out there that aren't marketed as vegan but would probably meet vegan standards.
