Are you committed to wearing only vegan barefoot shoes? It’s hard enough to find barefoot shoes for every occasion, but if you add in a vegan requirement you have to dig a little deeper. Fortunately most barefoot shoe brands offer at least a few vegan options and they are constantly adding more.

Conclusion
Barefoot shoes are taking off, but up until recently there weren’t many vegan options. Fortunately vegan barefoot shoes are becoming more popular. and this list will only grow! Barefoot shoe brands are also making it easier by doing vegan versions alongside leather versions, and clearly labeling this in their descriptions. Raising your voice and giving feedback where you’d like to see more vegan options is powerful, so don’t hesitate to reach out to brands that could be doing more!
As always, be sure to let me know of any new finds that should be on this list!

THANK YOU for this website and especially this list. I have such a hard time finding shoes that don’t hurt my feet. Any brands here that tend to be good for WIDE feet? Lems and Altra, even the men’s, are too narrow for me.
Hi! Ahinsa, Bohempia (especially wide width), Be Lenka, Freet, and Dextra Perspective all make extra wide shoes! You can cross reference for vegan options in this list of extra wide brands: https://anyasreviews.com/best-barefoot-shoes-foot-type/#barefoot-shoe-brands-for-extra-wide-feet.
Hi! Could you please clarify which brand / style of shoe is the closed toe sling back, pictured at the top of this page?
