More and more vegan shoes are sold in Spain and this is the result of a reality and that is that more and more are pointing to a philosophy of life in which there is no place for food or materials of animal origin. Respect for all life is one of the maxims of this philosophy and that is why they take care of everything they buy, including clothing and footwear.

Vegan summer shoes are made of cotton fabric that in many cases is recycled and rubber that can also be partially recycled, which also makes them very sustainable. A vegan is also a person concerned about the environment and nature and for that reason, recycling is also very important and is on your list of things to consider when buying clothes.

The synthetic leather sole known as PU has the same qualities as real leather and has a very similar texture making it just as nice. Even the tails used to attach the sole to the rest of the shoe are taken into account so that they do not have animal components. The guarantee of this is the label that certifies that the product is vegan.

When we talk about winter shoes, PU is the most widely used material for outdoors. It is very difficult to distinguish from eco-leather, the other alternative material or leather at first glance and only after observing it very closely do you see the differences.

Between PU and eco-leather the differences are in the materials since PU is basically made of polyurethane mixed with other fibers, while eco-leather with PVC. PU is therefore of higher quality, is stronger and may have added alternative properties.

But for those who buy them, precisely the differences that we do not see are the ones that matter and that is that PU does not have elements of animal origin. Not having to sacrifice any creature in order to have shoes is very important for followers of vegan philosophy, which goes far beyond not eating meat.

Sustainable fabrics like organic cotton and the fact that garments meet certain ethical criteria are also things considered by vegans who want, in short, a better world for everyone, animals and people.
