What's up Community, new week new me and new world, just with me, that's what a lot of people probably thought before becoming vegan. The vegan community in the world has grown a lot recently.
Therefore, at the beginning of this September week, we will give you a small insight into the best vegan sneakers. How must a sneaker be to be considered a vegan sneaker. There can't be any animal products on or in the sneaker. Also no animal products may be used in the production either. If all this is respected, then a sneaker is considered vegan. Previously most vegan sneakers were made out of bio cotton or cork, making them look bad. However in recent years, more and more brands have made sure that they produce more vegan models, so vegans now have a decent selection of sneakers. Here are now 5 very nice vegan sneakers available to buy.
