A woman can never have too many shoes and finding vegan friendly options can be a minefield. Finding good quality shoes that look good too can be tricky in vegan territory. Here are the Green Diva’s picks for 2010:

These beautiful Spanish-made recycled suede boots have recycled PET plastic uppers, and more importantly are stain free, so no more watermarks. With a comfy and sturdy 3″ heel they zip up with an elastic section and have padded, flexible soles for comfort. I think they are worth the hefty price of £207.
Stunning and pretty vegan flats that are actually made from plastic and have a black lace effect which Gok Wan would describe as being “bang on trend this season”. I like how versatile they seem, and would add interest to the most boring outfit. Not bad for £65.
Here are possibly the most sophisticated and stylish vegan court shoes available for this season and will make any outfit look absolutely amazing. The shoes cost £121 and are made in Spain from a recycled faux suede upper and breathable faux leather lining. They are also available in black but this burgundy print is very striking and worth the extra pennies, they can be purchased here.
A real bargain at £16.25 (currently on sale at Fashion-Conscience.com) these gladiator style vegan flat sandals from are from Komodo and are fair trade too. I like the recycled tyre rubber sole and brass detailing. The lovely blue colour looks great and complements my current love of turquoise jewellery.
These Neu Aura grey slip on heels can be worn with almost anything and feature subtle stitching detail that work for both work and play. Perfect when going straight out from work. Grab them while they’re on sale!
I have a thing about wooden platform sandals and Stella McCartney’s canvas ones that tower at 5 inches are right up my street. The silver diamanté and gold bead embellishment makes them more of an evening shoe and the highlight is the gripped rubber sole making them comfortable and safe to walk in.
These “Love Pumps” from Draven are vegan and the polka dots make them fun and inline with the current fashion trend that seems to be here to stay for the time being. Perfect with a monochrome outfit. Available here for $49.50.
If only one pair of faux suede shoes can be purchased then these boots by Olsen Haus must be at the top of the list. The faux patent section makes them stand out among the cheap ones on the high street.
These classic and stylish flats are a winner from Form Fauna. The pleats add a little detail and the neutral colour means they will never go out of fashion. Made from Italian biodegradable synthetics, bamboo and regenerative wood heels the shoe is completely ethical and uses non-toxic water-based glue. They are expensive even though they’re currently on sale for $121.
And last but not least, these Berlin boots are very sensible waterproof options. Available for a very competitive price of £20 (not including P&P). They are also windproof, breathable and claims to maintain foot temperature at 32 degrees.
