Hello fellow vegan shoe lovers!

I'm working on a line of vegan shoes, do you have any suggestions for styles you would like?

What are your favorite brands of non-vegan shoes, that you wish you could see a similar vegan version?

Any feedback you could give me would help me so much! Thank you!

Wow, that's great! I think affordable flats and nice pretty dress shoes would be handy ... so many vegan shoes I see are pretty ugly or not practical for everyday ... nice simple designs without trying to be too modern. Not sure if that helps!

Hi Jessica!

I love non leather shoes! The company I work for is called Bourgeois Boheme and does some amazing designs! www.bboheme.com

Let me know if you need any info!

I was in Rudsak the other day, looking at the beautiful shoes and boots, and very much missing buying beautiful, current, stylish footwear. I feel kind of the opposite of Kirsty. It seems to me that alot (not all) of the vegan footwear on the market is a bit on the flat and frumpy side. That, or cheap looking, and hoochie. I'd love to see a really well made, on trend line without the Stella McCartney pricetag. Just my two cents. Good luck in your venture!

Kirsty- I totally agree! As a practical shopper, classic designs are my wardrobe staples- you get so much more bang for your buck when you buy good quality, timeless shoes that you can wear everyday, or that can be your go-to pair for a special occasion!

Francesca- Thank you! Expect a boots and gloves purchase from me sometime in the near future, your stuff is sooooo cute! I am still looking for a US manufacturer, so if your company uses someone that you recommend, please let me know! Also, I want to see your shoes out here in Cali- if there's anything I can do to help get your products stocked out here, please let me know!

Kim T.- Who are you, and how are you able to take the exact words out of my mouth? I miss shoe-shopping too...shopping for vegan shoes needs to be fun! I tell people the same thing, that most vegan shoes are frumpy, cheap, or hooker-ish! And I don't have the money to spend for a $500 pair of shoes, nor would I want to if I could. Let's make shopping fun again, and be super-cute and stylish with ethically-made shoes! Again, I'm open to suggestions- if you literally tell me a certain kind of shoe you want, I will make it happen!
