With veganism becoming more mainstream, it’s easier to find animal-product-free treats in the supermarket, but for those who choose to wear their vegan ethics on their sleeve (or feet), it can be harder to find appealing shoes.

A key way to identify a genuine vegan style choice, is to check for the Vegan Society Trademark.
