Will’s Vegan Shoes

Vegan shoes have come a long way since the days of stiff plastic boots and questionable pleather flats. But even after 15+ years of being vegan, finding really good vegan shoes—ones that don’t just skip the leather but are actually made to last—sometimes still feels like a scavenger hunt.

Yes, you can absolutely find “accidentally vegan” shoes at Target or Zappos—just look for the “all synthetic materials” tag. But if you care about anything beyond avoiding leather, things get murky.

• What’s in the glue? (Because, yes, sometimes it’s animal-based.)
• Who made these, and were they paid fairly?
• Are they built to last, or will I be regretting my choice in three months when the sole starts peeling off?

After cycling through enough flimsy, too-good-to-be-true budget shoes, I knew I needed something better. That’s where Will’s Vegan Shoes comes in.

Why Will’s Vegan Shoes Stand Out

Some brands have a vegan line—which is great—but Will’s is 100% vegan, through and through. No sneaky materials, no animal-based glue, no weird fine print. Just well-made, ethically produced shoes designed to actually last. A few things worth knowing:

• They’re actually comfortable. No break-in period where you have to suffer for fashion.
• Ethically made. Workers are paid fair wages, and sustainability is a priority.
• Huge variety. Sneakers, boots, dress shoes, wallets, belts—if it goes on your feet (or in your pocket), they probably make it.
• They don’t look vegan. You know what I mean. No obvious “this was made from recycled water bottles” vibe. Just classic, good-looking shoes.

Oh, and every pair has a tiny “vegan” symbol stamped onto the sole. Subtle, but kind of cool if you’ve ever wished your shoes could quietly announce, “Yes, I’m vegan, and no, I’m not wearing cow skin.”

A London-Based Vegan Shoe Brand

Will’s Vegan Store is a London-based company founded by vegan animal advocate Will Green. Will started this company with a passion for providing shoes that are accessible, fashionable, and animal-friendly. He is forging the way in ethical footwear and is doing so with passion and commitment to ethics across the board.

Wills is about getting the latest fashions out there at fair prices, while not hurting animals or people in the process. The entire range is free of animal products while workers are paid in accordance with European guidelines. Will’s really is an animal- and human-friendly company.

Are They Worth The Investment?

If you’re used to grabbing shoes for under $40, the price of Will’s might make you pause. But if you’re tired of shoes that barely make it through a season, here’s the deal:

• A $25 pair of shoes = probably falling apart within a year.
• A pair of Will’s = made to last, designed with better materials.

And if they don’t work for you? You get 356 days to return them. That’s a full year. Returns are even free in the US, UK, Europe, and Canada, which is almost unheard of.

Where to Get Them

They’re online only, which means no middleman markup—just direct-to-consumer pricing. Check them out at: Will’s Vegan Store – Official Site.

And if you want them to last? Treat them like leather. A quick wipe-down now and then keeps them looking fresh.

Final Thoughts

After years of cycling through shoes that were either cheap and flimsy or expensive and… still kind of bad, I finally landed on a brand that gets it.

Will’s isn’t the only vegan shoe brand out there, but they are one of the few that balance quality, style, and ethics without making you feel like you’re wearing shoes designed by someone who just discovered hemp fabric.

And honestly? It just feels good knowing that no animals were harmed for something I wear every day.

Wills is a great example of how I want all companies to operate. They take pride in their products, from the construction to the to the customer, and that’s just one of the many reasons why I love them!
