At Lubay, our core business is vegan bags made in Belgium. But we are often asked if we know good vegan shoe brands, especially sneakers, barefoot models, or even elegant heels.
Here is an updated guide to the brands we wear, have tested, or simply carefully spotted. Whether you're looking for vegan shoes for women, vegan sneakers made in Europe, or elegant footwear without animal materials, this selection should please you!
Vegan Sneakers

Presentation
Zèta is a French brand launched in 2020 that offers eco-designed unisex sneakers, with retro designs, laces or Velcro. All their models are made in Portugal with innovative, plant-based materials: grape (GrapeSkin), olive (Olea), corn, etc. At Lubay, we have been wearing their Alpha model in GrapeSkin for over two years. It was by wanting to test this material (which we also use for our vegan bags) that we discovered their shoes. Since then, we haven't stopped wearing them: comfortable, resistant, and elegant!
