Vegan shoes are footwear made without any animal-derived materials. Animal-derived materials can be found in various parts of traditional shoes, including the upper (often made from leather), the lining (leather or wool), the insole (leather or animal-based glue), the outsole (leather or animal-based adhesives), the glue (derived from animal collagen), and trims or embellishments (leather patches, wool accents, or silk threads). Choosing vegan shoes ensures all these components are made from cruelty-free, sustainable materials, such as vegan leather, plant-based fabrics, and synthetic adhesives, promoting ethical and eco-friendly fashion.

At Will’s Vegan Shoes we use some of the best vegan materials available like our signature Italian bio-based vegan leather. Our vegan shoes can easily last as long as leather shoes and often will outlast them. Our vegan shoes are designed to withstand daily wear and various weather conditions, much like traditional leather shoes. Proper care, such as regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals, will help extend the life of your vegan footwear, making them a long-lasting, sustainable choice.

Yes, if you are not happy with your purchase at any point, we will always refund, replace, or try to repair your vegan shoes. Just let us know, and we will take care of everything for you.

Our vegan shoes are crafted from high-quality vegan leather and suede, requiring minimal upkeep to keep them looking fresh.

General Care:

Water and Stains: Our vegan footwear withstands water, mud, road salt, and snow without damage. No need to worry about spoiling or marking.

Cleaning: Clean with warm soapy water using a cloth or brush. Dry thoroughly with a towel. For extra shine, use synthetic polish according to the instructions. For burnished effects, reapply a darker polish or visit a cobbler.

Vegan Leather Uppers:

Clean: Use warm soapy water and a cloth or brush on both the uppers and outsoles.

Dry: Towel dry completely.

Polish: Apply synthetic polish to restore shine and color.

Waterproofing: Optionally you can treat with a waterproofing spray every 2-3 months, depending on use.

Avoid Dampness: Never let vegan footwear stay damp. Dry thoroughly before wearing again and use a deodoriser if needed. Extreme cases may require washing the insides with warm soapy water, followed by thorough drying.

Vegan Suede Uppers:

Brush: After drying, use a suede brush to restore texture.

Clean: For stubborn stains, use warm soapy water and a cloth or brush. Towel dry.

Waterproofing: Apply a waterproofing spray every 2-3 months, depending on use.

Avoid Dampness: Follow the same drying and deodorising steps as for vegan leather.

Drying Tips:

Avoid direct heat sources like radiators. Dry naturally or use a low-heat setting.
