Vegan sneakers: a closer look at materials and construction

A good sneaker starts with the details. Shape, proportion, upper texture and construction all contribute to how a pair looks and feels. Before choosing, take a closer look at the information for the particular style.

Look beyond the label

A country-of-origin label is one part of a product’s story. It does not, by itself, establish quality or environmental impact. Read the current manufacturing and material information provided for your chosen pair rather than assuming it is the same across a collection.

Understand the upper

The upper is a useful place to start. A smooth finish, a textured panel and mesh create different visual effects, and may require different care. Explore the product photography alongside its composition. Our material story offers context, while the product page gives the details for that style.

Look at the complete construction

A shoe is more than its upper. Check the information about its lining, insole and sole where provided. A description of one component should not be treated as a description of the whole shoe. If a detail matters to your choice and is not listed, ask our team before ordering.

Choose for your everyday wardrobe

Think about the clothes you will wear with your pair. A clean white silhouette can sit alongside tailoring; a textured or multi-panel style brings a different character to denim and relaxed layers. Browse the apparel edit for pieces to wear alongside your sneakers.

Check fit and care before ordering

Use the size guide and the advice on the product you choose. Comfort is individual, and one style’s fit should not be assumed for another. When it comes to cleaning, follow the product’s instructions and use our care guide as a starting point. Check with our team if you are unsure which treatment suits a material.

Find your next pair

Explore men’s sneakers or women’s sneakers. Choose the shape, colour and product details that work for you.
