If you’re on the prowl for sexy vegan fall shoes, look no further. Take it away, Leanne!

Cute vegan boots aren’t the easiest to come by, especially ones that can stop traffic in Union Square. But these that I bought at MooShoes two falls ago continue to get me stopped on the street where women ask me, “Where did you get those?” I tell them, “MooShoes. They’re Big Buddha - cute, right? And all vegan.” My girl Annabella and I had gone to MooShoes for a Sea Shephard bake sale, and both fell in love with this same pair of shoes, same size too. It has a great platform, so it gives you the height of a heel, but the general comfort of a boot, giving you edge for a girlier outfit (perfect with a floral dress), or a bit of sexy with a casual jeans and tee look. We both bought the same pair and since I’ve gone back to buy several more from this brand - they’re so cute, well made, and a great fit.

This season they seem to have lots of cute flats! Great comfy boots like the Missy, perfect for tucking in leggings, tights, and skinnies to make those legs look mile high while being able to walk a mile. Cute sparkly flats like these “Bold” I love because, well, I love sparkle, and always seem to need a lot of ankle support with flats so if you’re like me, these will be perfect for a night at the movies or a walk in the park in that cool autumn air with a full skirt to match. Also, I adore this boy meets girl oxford “Rebel” which will be so cute with a buttoned down shirt and the perfect pair of jeans, or thrifted mens suspenders! And “the Britt” is a cute classic, great for the office with that high waisted pencil skirt. Zappos seems to have a great variety of their shoes (here’s their whole Big Buddha collection). Big Buddha started creating cruelty free bags, and recently has forayed into shoes... and I’m really into it.

@Melissa you're welcome! I'm happy someone else can benefit from my new find! Happy shopping :) -
I love MooShoes -- whether shopping at the NYC store or ordering online, they make it easy to find new designers and keep up with fashion. Check out the blog post I wrote about them http://bit.ly/XUzDJZ back in July 2010. -
Thank you, Jennifer, for the info on ALdo! I wear a 5 too and have such a horrible time finding good shoes that are vegan! I can't even find my dansko vegan shoes in a small enough size!!! :( Thanks for the article, too!!! -
Gorgeous!!! We need more Vegan Fashionistas out there to show people that you can eat and dress ethically and look fabulous at the same time! -

Shooesssss! What girl doesn't want a fabulous pair of fall boots?! I have baby feet, so finding my size (5) is in itself an achievement, let alone finding ones that are still cute and non-leather. So I was SUPER excited when a friend recommended Aldo to me. I am currently debating between these three beauties! (Online, so I can't verify quality or comfort, but cute to look at!)

And those of you that have more average size feet can indulge in these, and I will have to be content with my jealousy :)

Enjoy! -
I went to MooShoes for the first time a couple weekends ago. I found a few items I liked, but it was hard to find anything in my (very common) size of 7 1/2. I wonder if they were just waiting on a shipment or something. Most of the shoes had little to no arch support (vegans need good arch support, too!) So, for now, I'll stick with my non-vegan Naots until I find something that's both animal-friendly and foot-friendly. I'd rather wear vegan footwear; it's very frustrating finding comfy plant-based shoes! -
Love the black lace up wedges! Also check out the Woven Cuff Wedges from ecoCLOSE another super cute vegan line!
