High heels, edgy stilettoes, and knee-high boots are all lovely until the real king steps in, SNEAKERS! Nothing beats the versatility of a (or ten) pair of sneakers. Sneakers can take it all — whether it’s a day at the beach, a day of window shopping at the mall, or a night out with your mates. There’s nothing a decent pair of sneakers can’t fix, even if you’re in the midst of a wardrobe crisis! But, hey, we know it can be challenging to find vegan sneakers that aren’t made using terrible materials like leather and plastic.
