NAE Vegan Shoes (a quality brand from Portugal)

NAE Vegan Shoes (also sold at Shop Like You Give a Damn) is a wonderful brand of quality footwear from Portugal. The name stands for ‘no animals exploited’. This brand has been run for 15 years by the same couple, with everything handmade in small Portuguese workshops.

Each pair is designed to last, and often uses eco materials like cork heels, recycled plastic bottles, apple leather (from waste skins) and pineapple waste fibres.

Find shoes to sandals to boots. This is a super vegan footwear brand!

Pre-loved bargain basement

The Preloved range has big discounts. This works by people sending back their old shoes. If the items are in good condition, they go on sale. If not, the company donates them to local non-profits so others have the benefit of good footwear, albeit with a few scratches.

Obviously the images differ, depending on what is on sale at the time. But these pictures are for goods on sale at time of writing. There were some real bargains (walking boots that were 135 Euros now at 35 Euros). And sneakers that were 75 Euros now at 20 Euros.
