Ahimsa - Maker of Quality Vegan Shoes

Ahimsa should very well be considered a role model for other vegan shoe companies.

It’s a small company based in Brazil, and they produce some of the best and most ethical shoes on the market.

Adam bought a pair of faux suede derbys earlier this year and is in love with them.

In fact, they are the only pair of “nicer” shoes he’s ever had that are comfortable enough to wear on a daily basis.

When Ahimsa was founded in 2014, they were using a third-party producer to make their products like most ethical shoe companies these days.

But it didn’t take long before the founders started getting uncomfortable with the idea of using a producer that didn’t share their vegan beliefs.

Only 6 months later, Ahimsa opened their own factory ,and today it's the only 100% vegan shoe factory in the world.

All of Ahimsa’s products are created by a small and very dedicated team in their own vegan shoe factory.

You even get a handwritten thank you note from the staff with every pair you buy!

Ordering from Ahimsa is easy.

The company offers free worldwide shipping and their fair trade vegan shoes can be ordered directly from their website or from several online retailers such as Avesu, Amazon, etc.

Veerah - Fair Trade Vegan Shoes with a Positive Social Impact

When it comes to vegan and ethical shoe companies, we personally think Veerah is one of the most exciting.

Their heels are to die for, and naturally, they produce gorgeous fair trade shoes for vegans.

But even more so, Veerah is also dedicated to helping make a larger impact on the world.

At least 1 percent of all Veerah's revenue is donated to social impact causes, all of their staff gets 10 paid hours every month to use for volunteering and self-improvement, and they are constantly working on minimizing their impact on the world.

All of the vegan fair trade shoes that Veerah sells are 100% cruelty-free and made from sustainable and eco-friendly leather alternatives.

For example, Italian microfiber leather is one of the most popular materials used for a majority of their heels, but they also use recycled PET-bottles, apple skins, cork, and 100% percent organic cotton.

Veerah’s hard work and dedication has earned them an official approval from PETA, and to us, they are one of the most fashion-forward manufacturers of vegan fair trade shoes today.

Will’s Vegan Shoes - A Pioneer in the Vegan Ethical Shoe Industry

Will Green founded Will’s Vegan Shoes back in 2012 with the goal of producing great ethically made vegan shoes.

This means that all of the materials used are certified vegan, the staff is treated respectfully under-regulated European working conditions, and the production line is designed to cause as little harm as possible to our world.

Will’s was also one of the first companies that started using Italian microfiber leather on a larger scale.

Moreover, Will’s Vegan Shoes has literally taken the vegan fashion world by storm by filling a void and offering long-lasting, affordable, sustainable fashion for vegans.

Before Will’s, it was hard to find any really good fair trade vegan shoes, both for men and women.

What is even more impressive is that the company has initiated a well-needed change in the industry that is inspiring more vegan companies to take on the fast fashion industry.

All of their products are certified carbon neutral, ethically made, and vegan, and they are by far one of the most environmentally-friendly clothing companies today.

Last year, Victoria bought a pair of vegan boots from Will’s Vegan Shoes, and she has been wearing them as often as the weather allows.
