Youโve switched to a plant-based diet, and now itโs time to create some conscious changes in your lifestyle too. The next step is improving your wardrobe by beginning with your shoes. Now thatโs a great move! Below, youโll discover the best vegan winter boots that will instantly elevate your looks and help you make the transition smoother.
Thereโs a stereotype around being a vegan. Many people seem to think that vegans spend their days walking around barefoot, doing yoga, hugging trees, preaching love and kindness, fermenting their own kombucha, dressing strangely, and overall being some kind of โweird hippiesโ.
In reality, that couldnโt be further from the truth. Just because someone chooses a way of living which excludes all forms of violence and cruelty to animals for food, fashion or lifestyle, doesnโt mean that this person automatically stops caring about everything else, including their looks and style.ย
Being a vegan and dressing well can certainly go hand to hand if you know where to get ethically made, cruelty-free clothes and shoes that can make all your outfits look chicer.ย
In this article, Iโll cover the footwear department. And more specifically, weโll be focusing on boots. Keep reading to find the best vegan boots that will improve your style and upgrade your looks.
These Vegan Winter Boots Will Instantly Elevate Your Looks:
These elegant vegan ankle boots with a block heel from the sustainable shoe brand Alohas are the perfect addition to your closet, especially if you are (or looking to be) dressing more feminine and classy. The heel size makes them ideal for an everyday shoe, whilst the slim, smart silhouette will level up the most basic of looks.
We all need a stylish pair of classic boots, and this one ticks all the boxes. Can you even tell that itโs not real leather?! I didnโt think so!!

Here is another gorgeous animal-friendly alternative to the timeless ankle boot style from the luxury vegan shoe brand Beyond Skin. Hand cut and made in Spain from luxurious vegan suede and 100% recycled breathable faux leather, these boots are a key wardrobe basic that will never go out of style. Sure, itโs an investment but when it comes to shoes, thatโs where you want to spend a little extra. Because quality matters. Especially when weโre talking about a basic wardrobe essential that youโll be wearing on repeat, year after year. If your shoes are falling apart after a few months of wearing them, then constantly having to buy new ones can rack up quite a bill.

Not a heels girl and looking for something more fun and unique? How about these stunning vegan Chelsea boots from Stella McCartney? They will definitely get all the attention (and likes!) on the gram, so if you can afford to get a designer pair, why not? I mean, I know I want them, for sure! Look how comfy they look, and I love the chunky sole! It will add some height (5cm to be precise) and elongate the silhouette, which is always a bonus!
Did you know that all the Stella McCartneyโs shoes and accessories are 100% vegan as a part of their cruelty-free ethos? Can we get more designers to follow her example, please? GUCCI, are you reading this?! (Probably not, but a girl can dream.)

Love chunky ankle boots, but designer ones are not accessible for you? Donโt worry! Here is a lovely budget-friendly alternative from SCHUH. Having a pair of vegan friendly winter boots in a neutral color will bring more variety in your outfit choices and help you boost your style game immensely. Yes, they may not be the most efficient ones when it comes to weather as theyโre made of fabric, but you just have to be mindful and donโt wear them when it rains. Apart from that, they would make a pretty good vegan boot for when you donโt feel like wearing black.
