Vegan footwear is increasingly popular, that is, footwear made from materials that do not come from animals and that are manufactured in our country. But we are going to analyze the characteristics of this type of footwear and why we must choose the one made in Spain before others.
Many people believe that buying shoes that are not leather or suede are already vegan shoes. But it’s not like that. Some brands use leather insoles or even glues that have components of animal origin. Therefore, if you want to check that your shoes are really vegan, you must go to their label and that it guarantees that they are completely free of animal components. You will thus avoid deceit.
It is common to be suspicious of vegan footwear because it is believed that synthetic leather shoes are necessarily harder and rougher and will not give the desired comfort. But synthetic leather can be as soft and comfortable as natural leather as long as it is of good quality and works properly.
And this is where the nationality of footwear comes in, since shoes made in Spain have a quality that has made them famous throughout the world. The choice of materials, the way they are treated and even lasts influence the final quality, which is at the height of the best leather footwear, but without any animal suffering to achieve them.
Obtaining quality footwear that is vegan is becoming easier, but finding quality footwear when using Asian products is not so easy. These shoes are very economical, but they can cause foot problems since they are hard, they do not perspire properly and their lasts are uncomfortable.
This can lead to problems of hardness, calluses and even fungus due to the moisture of the sweat that remains all day on the foot. It is not worth saving money at the cost of foot health and daily comfort.
If you want to give your vegan shoes a plus, you can choose them with eco friendly materials. That is, materials that can be easily recycled. Typical sisal-based fabric slippers and recyclable soles can be an example of vegan and eco-friendly footwear as long as environmentally friendly dyes are used.
