For everyone who thinks of their feet and of the world around them. Be Lenka vegan barefoot shoes are made without animal materials. Breathable textile, a roomy toe box and a flexible sole at the same time give the foot the freedom it needs.
A vegan range for the whole family
Footwear without animal materials can today be found across the whole Be Lenka collection. Women can choose from everyday and work models among the women’s vegan barefoot shoes. Men will find a wide assortment in the men’s vegan barefoot shoes. And for children, who put footwear through the toughest test, there are children’s vegan barefoot shoes. The whole household can thus do without leather, if that’s what it wishes.
Who vegan footwear is a good choice for
The reasons vary and all of them are legitimate. Some customers are led by conviction and by the wish to prevent the use of animals. Others reach for textile because of its lower weight and better breathability during active movement. Others again appreciate the simple maintenance, which requires neither waxes nor creams. And some people simply take a liking to a particular model that happens to be vegan. Whatever your reason, it changes nothing about the quality of the footwear.
Sustainability is more than the material
The most ecological shoe is the one that serves you for a long time and that you don’t have to replace so soon. That’s why Be Lenka builds its vegan models on the same integrity as the whole collection, that is on carefully selected materials, precise workmanship and testing over thousands of flexes. The development of the shoes, the lasts and the soles takes place in house. Longevity is the most important number in sustainability, even though discussions about materials often forget it.
How to care for vegan footwear
The maintenance is simpler than with leather, and that’s one of the reasons people grow fond of it. Clean textile and synthetic uppers dry with a brush or with a foam intended for the given material, but avoid washing them in the machine. After cleaning, let the shoes dry naturally and from time to time renew the waterproofing, which repels moisture and dirt. You’ll find suitable products in the shoe care category.
Are vegan barefoot shoes cheaper than leather ones?
+ -Not always. The price comes from the quality of the material, the construction and the complexity of production, not from whether it’s leather or textile. Quality technical textiles and microfibres can be comparable in price to genuine leather. In the range you’ll find vegan models across the whole price spectrum, so you choose according to what you expect from the pair, not according to the material.
Is vegan footwear automatically more ecological?
+ -Not automatically, and it’s fair to say so directly. Vegan means without animal materials, which isn’t the same as ecological. The environmental impact is influenced by the origin of the materials, the way of production, the transport and the lifespan of the footwear. Durability is precisely the factor that weighs the most. A pair that lasts years burdens the environment less than several cheap pairs you wear out in the same time.
Are vegan models suitable for people with allergies?
+ -Often yes; people with a sensitivity to the chemicals used in tanning leather tend to be happier in vegan models. We state the material composition with every product, so you can verify it before purchase. With a diagnosed contact allergy, however, follow your doctor’s recommendation, and for questions about a specific model turn to our customer support.
