Sneakers: 10 100% vegan pairs to adopt
Vegan fashion comes to interfere to our feet for our greatest happiness. Many brands are in fact increasingly creating plant-based alternatives to animal leather that can be found, in particular, on sneakers. Other claws, present for a long time on the market, were just waiting for the right moment to shine. For all styles and desires, these pieces are therefore respectful of animal well-being and our beautiful planet. To sport these cruelty-free sneakers in style, here are our favorite pairs to shop.
Vegetal in our sneakers
In the shoe department, there are many alternatives to animal leather. First, synthetic materials, which are cruelty-free and cheaper, but less natural. Then, plant materials or "alters-leather" such as cork, pineapple (Piñatex), cactus, grapes, hemp, apple... To be sure of making the right choice, PETA certification ensures that ethical treatment of animals has been respected.
Some eco-responsible collections also offer recycled rubber, plastic or tires. In short, you have a wide choice available to you without forgetting the trendy aspect with "current" shapes and colors.
A word of advice: pay attention to the different marketing names, such as "vegetable leather" which includes several meanings. Indeed, this formulation can also designate real vegan alternatives such as apple leather for example, but also the skin of an animal which has been transformed with vegetable tanning, or even imitation leather which comes from petrochemical industry. These so-called "vegetable" options are ultimately sometimes more dramatic for the human, animal and environmental condition because of a production method that is not very ethical or regulatory.
