Those of you who prefer shoes made of man-made materials know how difficult it can be to find a variety of styles that represent the latest trends.

Happily, more and more designers are creating cruelty-free footwear that is fashionable as well as kind, and there are several great web sites that offer vegetarian and vegan shoes and bags.

The adorable, vintage-inspired pumps shown here are entirely man-made, and feature 3" heels, loads of straps and tons of personality. They'd be cute with jeans, wide-legged pants, or short skirts and tights.

Available in black or beige from VegetarianShoesandBags.com, they're just the tip of the "Cute Vegan Shoes" iceberg. Be sure to visit for more great fall styles in men's and women's shoes. Or, feel free to check out some of my other favorite sites for Vegetarian Shoes.
