It’s a cold winter night. You have vegan hot chocolate in one hand and Animal gender in another, while you’re snug in a comfy vegan blanket. Everything looks perfect, until you look at your bare, frozen feet! Fluffy slippers are in great need of you, but they certainly shouldn’t come at the expense of sheep, mink, or any other animal.

When looking for vegan slippers, pay attention to fur, sheepskin, suede, leather, silk, and wool. Instead, look for Sherpa (also known as “faux sheepskin”), faux fur, polyester, and velor. To make it easier for you, here are PETA’s top picks:

UGG, whose entire line of footwear was previously made from stolen wool from animals and other body parts, has just launched an all-vegan line, including slippers! This victory follows pressure from PETA and thousands of its supporters and will help prevent the slaughter of nice sheep. Made from carbon neutral plant materials such as sugar cane and wood pulp, these shoes tread slightly on the environment.

This exciting first step is further proof that the future of fashion is vegan – now we need to make UGG quit all sheepskin and wool. Take action below!

Nothing beats a classic look. Pawj’s fluffy faux fur and sheepless suede slippers are also the (vegan) cake for animal cuteness. Explore the brand’s variety of high-quality shoes, including men’s sizes.

NOIZE’s fur slippers are available in more than five different colors to suit everyone’s hygge aesthetic. The brand even offers a style with an elastic strap at the heel for added security and comfort.

Although Pottery Barn is best known for home decor, it offers several types of plush vegan slippers. Make yourself comfortable in a pair that suits your style and rest assured that no one has hurt the minks for the pom poms on your slippers.

If you are looking for indoor / outdoor slippers with a focus on durability, Freewaters has you covered. Its slippers have cowless leather and rubber soles which are both durable and comfortable.

Tuk’s slippers feature animal prints and faces that showcase cuteness to animals. These fun designs are also offered at affordable prices.

Are you looking for maximum warmth for the feet? TOMS offers a wide variety of bootie types, such as booties for extra heel support. The brand also labels 100% vegan shoes.

Fairma offers several types of handmade vegan slippers. Made from high quality synthetic felt instead of sheep’s wool, they are both comfortable and stylish. Their minimalist design is also perfect for casual outdoor wear.

For year-round use, check out Nomadic State of Mind’s “Homemade Slippas”. Not only does the brand refuse to use animals for shoes, but its materials are also ethically sourced.

Hanes offers vegan slippers in a variety of budget models. Discover the brand’s silkworm-free embroidered slippers for the whole family or its cozy slipper socks.

Will furry slippers cause the next pandemic?

While the companies mentioned above offer animal-friendly slippers, UGG, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton and other popular brands do not yet offer vegan options. Fur farms – where sensitive animals such as mink are crammed into cages with no space to roam or clean themselves – have become hot spots for the novel coronavirus around the world. Likewise, in the woolen farms, the workers cut the sheep and sew their wounds without painkillers. These farms are time bombs for the next pandemic. Avoid animal abuse and urge these companies to stop using animals for clothing.

Fur, wool and other animal materials belong to their original owners

Non-vegan slippers use wool and sheepskin, which are great for finding herbs to make you feel better. Sheep use this skill to treat members of their flock who are sick. Companies sometimes make slipper linings from minks, solitary beings who prefer to explore on their own. Sheep and mink are just a few of the many animals whose lives you can spare by purchasing vegan slippers and other items. Need help with shopping? Check out PETA’s guide to vegan clothing.
