Buying Vegan Clogs Allows You To Quietly Contribute To A Louder Cause

By Amelia Parker


I have recently switched all of my footwear to vegan, including my many pairs of vegan clogs. I still eat meat so I am not a true vegan. It is simply my small way of saying I won't purchase shoes that are tested on animals, and every little bit counts in my opinion. You can also do the same, without anyone even knowing (if you want to keep it to yourself).

If you don't want to commit to being a vegan you certainly do not have to. You can still contribute by purchasing footwear that isn't tested on animals though; that is a great place to start making a difference. There are companies that make vegan friendly footwear and they are not hard to find. You will notice that vegan shoes, vegan clogs, and vegan boots are affordable and they provide great comfort too.

Doing a simple internet search for vegan clogs will turn up exactly what you are looking for. You will see that prices are comparable, if not favorable, and the looks are diverse and stylish. You'll see brands like Tom's and Dansko, in addition to many other worthy brands. These companies also donate a portion of their profits to other worthy causes, so you do too (indirectly) when you buy from them.

Clogs are essential if you work on your feet all day in a hospital type environment. The support they give is amazing and the will slide off and on with no effort what so ever. There are lines of vegan clogs that most brands make that will be stylish, comfy and certainly affordable. It is a misconception to think that vegan clogs are more expensive than regular clogs. Trust me, I own too many pairs.

Purchasing vegan footwear is a subtle way to contribute to an important cause. You won't stand out from a crowd that won't understand and you won't be ridiculed by the ignorant. Your dollars still go to worthy organizations and your feet still end up looking and feeling great. Best of all, you ensure that one less animal is treated adversely.
