No need to buy shoes anywhere else!

Their airseal range are really high quality. I have the steel toe ten eye, but I've really made them military grade shine, they're for best. I go to work in the 3 eye airseal smooth shoes, but wear the airseal safety boot at work. I also have a pair of boulder boots for leisure, along with a pair of combat boots.
Then there's a late 1990's pair of Dr. Martens for vegetarian shoes 1460's that are still going and comfy. Next on the list are a pair of monkey boots I think. Maybe a 14 eye steel toe too.
The vegan leather is stronger than animal leather, they last forever! Plus, I love Solovair who make them. Pimp them up with vegetarian shoes laces 🌱

Pros: Better than dms, Airseal made in England, Durability and style

Cons: Never wear out! I need new pairs!

Vegetarian Shoes

Good variety on offer; trainers, boots, smart shoes etc. They also sell a range of accessories. Nice to have a shoe shop where you haven’t got to stand and read material labels!

Great range of shoes

This is a great shop with a range of stylish boots, trainers and other shoes. The prices are reasonable and a lot of the shoes are under £100 which is unusual in vegan shoe shops. They have lots of space to sit and try on the shoes. They also sell a range of accessories including a selection of belts, wallets and bags. They've won lots of awards for their shoes and these were proudly displayed around the shop. They also have a website for ordering online if you can't make it to the shop.

Pros: Stylish shoes, Fully vegan, Lots of space to try on shoes

Shoes last so long

I bought my pair 6 months ago and it's as good as new (albeit a lil dirty). They make shoes that last.

Excellent quality

Best quality vegan shoes I've found, I've had 3 pairs and they've all lasted me years (compared to one year max with cheaper plastic ones).
Great range of styles.

Pros: Great quality

Cons: Expensive (but worth it)

great boots

i've used vegetarian shoes for years now, not that frequently as my shoes last for ages.
i presently have a chelsea boot and a 3 eye airseal, three and five tears old. the soles are getting thin now and need replaced soon, but the uppers are still in great shape.
i fancy a retread boot next.

Chelsea boot still.gojng strong. Just got some new trainers in. Made of pineapple. 😂

Chelsea boots still going strong. Just got new honking boots and trainers. 👍

Cute But No Support

While in NYC it started to snow. So my partner and I popped into a little shop and each bought a pair of Snub Boots. While they are super cute, the construction of the instep is poor. It is flat and has no noticeable arch. My friend and I both had the same experience, so I know it’s not me being particular ;)

Pros: Cute, Warm, Reasonable Price

Cons: No arch support, Poor construction of insert.

Great shoes and more!

Even though labelled 'vegetarian' this shop is vegan. One of the pioneers since existent since 1990. Produces its products itself in Portugal - no reselling.

Poor quality

Not the best quality considering the price. I ordered hiking boots thinking that it's going to be a good investment but they both came apart. I brought them to the shoe repair shop and the guy told that they are very bad quality so even if he tries to repair they will break again.
The shipping is quite expensive as well and I had to pay twice since the sizing was not correct neither.
Very dissapointed and would not recommmend!

Cons: expensive, low quality

Great Quality Shoes

I've had multiple pairs of shoes from Vegetarian Shoes, from some steel toe capped boots for college over a decade ago, to some Birkenstock style sandals, and all have been great quality, durable, and robust. Highly recommended if you want a pair of long lasting, ethical footwear.

Pros: Wide range

Vegetarian shoe delight

It was refreshing to be able to walk into a shop and know that all the shoes were ethical, I didn’t need to read the labels!

There was a decent amount of choice. Staff were on hand to answer questions and help out.

I opted for some boots on the ‘broken biscuits’ rack. They were £75 reduced from £84.95.

Quality varies, limited range

As I had been ordering shoes from Vegetarian Shoes online for some years, I was really looking forward to visiting their shop when staying near Brighton.

The shop is quite small, but I suppose they have their entire range on sale there. The quality of the shoes varies, as I'm really happy with the quality of most of the pairs I own, but one of the boots has a very poorly sewed on lining. After putting them on the first time, the seam tore. I got a replacement pair, but the same happened. The shoe is otherwise good quality, so I had a shoemaker replace the entire lining, which in the end was almost as expensive as the shoes. I also didn't like the pair of "suede" shoes I once owned, it got grubby very quickly and I wasn't able to clean them properly.

Small shop, not that much variety

This is from a visit in 2015.

We were very much looking forward to visiting this shop when in Brighton. But were a bit disappointed.
There weren't that many different shoes to choose from.
I find the design of a lot of the shoes a bit outdated.

The person in the shop seemed quite uninterested and not so friendly. I asked for socks to try out some shoes (as it was Summer and I wasn't wearing any), but they didn't have any available! In a shoe shop!

Did buy a pair of classy men's boots. Nice.

Lovely shoes!

I've ordered from their online store and was very pleased with the service I received. They sell a wide range of styles in a selection of colours. Both pairs of shoes I ordered are really comfortable and a pleasure to wear.

Pros: 100% vegan, Good customer service, Comfortable shoes

Cons: None!

vegan shoes

Whilst I am not so fond of the logo(!), this shop has some good quality vegan shoes. I bought a lovely pair of black lace-up brogue shoes which have strong grip, look well made, and were very comfortable. They don't have the widest range, but worth a look if you're nearby.

Pros: vegan shoes

Great shoes and boots at reasonable prices

Been meaning to go here for ages and one of our rescue dogs needing a ct scan at a vets in Brighton gave us the excuse. The name belies the fact that these are all vegan products. I tried on a few items and bought two pairs of boots and a pair of shoes for me, plus a pair of sandles for my partner. Lovely quality, all hand made either in UK or EU and at reasonable prices, comparable to those for similar leather boots and shoes. Some of the most comfortable footwear I've ever had. Our well behaved border terrier was allowed in with us, which was a bonus and the lady serving was very helpful and friendly, without being pushy or overly attentive. I heartily recommend this shop to anyone who wants cruelty free, good quality and reasonably priced footwear, belts or satchels.

Pros: Vegan, Good range, Mostly hand made in UK, some in EU

Cons: Not near enough to where I live in Hastings

Veggie/Vegan feet attire

I always go to this shop when down visiting friends. You can try the shoes on which for me is a bonus as I wear orthotics insoles and need to check how they fit as some styles i need a bigger size.
They last well and are the build is good quality, my podiatrist thought they were very supportive.
You can buy on line too, but it's nice to visit the shop if you're in Brighton.
They stock other faux leather items like belts too.
Check opening times as can be shut at odd times on certain days.

Pros: You can try the shoes on before you buy, They stock a wide range & styles., Helpful staff

Cons: Can be closed at odd times., No discounts for vegsoc/ vegan soc members

Wonderful vegan shoes shop !

Very kind and patient seller.
A lot of choice for ethical shoes, men and women unisex shoes. Hemp items.
We wear our "vegetarian shoes" EVERY day at work for several years. Very comfortable.
If you work standing all day long and if your feet hurt, the vegetarian shoes help a lot !!!
Excellent manufacturing.
Only one thing : we would like to see more feminine item, with high heel please...

Pros: friendly staff, ethical items

Boots 'N' All

Excellent shop that stocks a large variety of boots, shoes and trainers as well as accessories such as belts, satchels, insoles and polish. We visited the store whilst in Brighton where my wife bought a pair each of black airseal boots and para boots. Both are very sturdy and comfortable. If you cannot visit the store you can also order online. Some people may say the products are slightly expensive but the fact that no animals are killed in the process makes it well worth it.

Pros: Excellent Choice, Excellent Quality & Comfort, Friendly, helpful staff

Cons: Slightly expensive
