They exist: vegan skate shoes made of canvas, synthetic leather & more
Skate shoes have to withstand a lot. Especially the wear caused by grip tape makes special demands on shoes for skating. (Suede) leather has established itself as the preferred material. there are some vegan alternatives for vegan skaters and all who want to skate animal-free shoes.
Skate shoes from well-known brands like Nike SB, Vans, Last Resort AB, etnies or Converse Cons are also available with alternative materials that are in no way inferior to suede. Whether made of synthetic leather or canvas, paired with reinforcements like ollie pads or toe caps, vegan skateboard shoes are often just as durable as models with leather.
While the uppers of shoes are fairly easy to identify as vegan, the adhesive is a much bigger sticking point. This is not visible to the naked eye and in many cases contains animal components such as casein, i.e. milk proteins, or even bones.
So even skate shoes made of synthetic leather or synthetic materials can quickly fall out of the vegan grid. To make sure you're on the safe side when buying your next pair of vegan skate shoes and sneakers, we check every pair of shoes for you to see if they're vegan or not. You can filter all vegan models with the "Vegan" option or simply browse the skatedeluxe Vegan Shop.

Not so rare: vegan apparel & accessories
Especially with clothing like jackets and pants, as well as with accessories, there is often a small label, a patch or an application sewn on, which makes the product no longer vegan. But here too, there are plenty of alternatives. Be it a vegan belt, the wallet without leather, a durable vegan jacket or the jeans without leather patch: at skatedeluxe you can find it quickly and order it directly online.
