Let’s start the year on the right foot. If you’re looking for new shoes to wear on any occasion, look no further. Here is a curated list of the best vegan casual shoes on the market right now. Veganism never felt any better.
These shoes are not only easy on the eyes, but they’re also easy on your conscience, as no animals were harmed during their production.
1. Levis Jeffrey Hi Casual Fashion Sneaker (Buy here)
These are my personal go-to casual shoes. Levis, being originally a textile company, has thankfully never dabbled in leather products. These “accidentally” vegan shoes are made of canvas and rubber, with a cushioned insole and padded collar at the ankle for your utmost comfort. These sneakers are a clean classic, and are as casual as it gets. They come in black or indigo. I personally prefer the indigo with the white bottoms if I’m aiming for casual. Buy them here.
2. OluKai Nohea Mesh Shoe (Buy here)
OluKai is a company that makes Hawaiian-inspired footwear, so they’re naturally casual. Very light on your foot and breathable as hell, these shoes will feel like an ocean breeze. It’s solely made of all-weather non-marking rubber and soft to the touch Dri-Lex, a vegan lining that is designed for the active and casual lifestyle. They will keep your feet dry and will last you a great deal of time. Disclaimer: You don’t need to live in Hawaii to enjoy these shoes. Buy them here.
3. Acorn Wearabout Mule (Buy here)
OH, man. These shoes, if I can call them that, are out of this world. They’re like clouds for your feet. They look great and are perfect for a chilly weather outside, or a chilling vibe inside. Made with textile and rubber, these cruelty-free 100% vegan beds for your feet are warm and cozy, but also durable. The outsole is rugged and solid, so you can definitely wear them outside. The fluff inside is not wool, it’s yarn.
Buy them here.

Did you know Doc Martens made vegan boots? Well, now you know. This vegan counterpart to its nonvegan counterpart is well-made, durable, comfortable and casual as heck. These combat boots are pretty damn casual and are made with zero animal products. They’re surprisingly not that heavy and provide excellent support for your foot and ankle, and they look fresh as f*ck. Buy them here.
