Shop vegan skate shoes, sneakers & streetwear online

“Is this shoe vegan? Is this jacket safe?” These are just some of the predicaments that pretty much any vegan or vegetarian person can relate to. Especially as a vegan skateboarder, it’s not always easy - something a lot of our vegan staff can tell you a thing or two about. Luckily, you can easily shop vegan skate shoes and sneakers as well as vegan streetwear online in the skatedeluxe skate shop.

Skate Shoes Without Leather? Sure Thing!

No matter why someone chooses to live vegan: skate shoes and sneakers without leather, wool and other animal-based products happen to be a topic in the skate community every once in a while. And the reason for that isn’t just vegan pros like Ed Templeton or Mike V.

One thing’s clear: skate shoes have to endure a lot. Therefore, leather and suede have long been established as main components for skate shoes. But there are also materials of non-animal origin that are really tough and fit for skate shoes. Instead of leather, you can opt for a skate shoe made of fake-/faux-leather. Those synthetic materials are very durable and perform just as well as genuine leather or suede. On top of that, faux-leather has the advantage of being rather dimensionally stable, so shoes made from those textiles don’t blow out as fast.

Furthermore, there are many cruelty-free skate shoe and sneaker alternatives that are made from other synthetic fabrics or coated canvas that withstand the battle against griptape very well. In combination with reinforcements like ollie pads, toe caps and stuff like that, you won’t have to rely on leather skate shoes.

Vegan Sneakers & After-Skate Shoes

If you want to take things easy after your session, you can keep a clear conscience and also get vegan sneakers and shoes to hang out in at skatedeluxe. With sneakers made from breathable mesh, for example, you don’t have to compromise style with your next pair of vegan shoes.

The Thing About Glue…

While the upper of most shoes can be pretty easily identified as vegan or not, the crux of the matter is the glue/adhesive. The problem is that it can’t be identified with the naked eye and often contains animal-based ingredients like casein, a milk protein, or even bones.

Consequently, even skate shoes made from fake-suede or synthetic fabrics might not be vegan at all. To keep you on the safe side while you’re shopping for your next pair of vegan skate shoes or sneakers, we check every shoe to see if it’s vegan or not. You can filter for all vegan models by using the “vegan” button or by simply rummaging around in the skatedeluxe Vegan Shop.

Vegan Streetwear & Accessories

Usually, the vegan lifestyle doesn’t stop at footwear. Streetwear like jackets, hoodies, pants and many accessories often seem vegan at first glance, but the devil is in the details. Next to various material mixes that may contain wool or silk, many streetwear pieces come with subtle patches, logo-flags or other embellishments made from leather. At skatedeluxe, you’ll find a wide selection of vegan streetwear and accessories like vegan belts and wallets as well as backpacks, bags and much more, so you don’t have to forfeit your style while living vegan or vegetarian.
