NAE (stands for ‘no animals exploitation’) is a stylish Portuguese footwear brand, with everything made from quality vegan materials. Many items make use of zero waste materials including:
- Cork heels (no trees cut down to make cork)
- Sandals made from pineapple industry waste
- Sneakers made from recycled plastic bottles
- Mules made from apple leather (waste material)
Vegan shoes are made fairly and without animal products. Most leather shoes are made in countries with little or no animal welfare laws. Quality vegan shoes are made from Microfiber, so don’t make your feet sweat, and are easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
Europeans don’t offer half-sizes, so choose the bigger size and wear thicker socks! Get your feet measured in a shoe shop first, to save the hassle of returns. Or measure your own feet. Try to buy two pairs so you can alternate (this helps them last longer).
