STEP INTO CONSCIOUS COMFORT: PAPERKRANE'S VEGAN REVOLUTION
Share
World Vegan Day may have passed (it was Nov 1st in case you missed our email newsletter!), but our commitment to vegan-friendly, eco-conscious footwear is year-round. At PaperKrane, we've always believed that doing right by your feet shouldn't mean compromising on your values. That's why we're proud to offer a range of vegan barefoot shoes that prove you can have it all: barefoot freedom, bold style, and a clear conscience.
Vegan Barefoot Shoes: Materials That Matter
When we say our vegan shoes are thoughtfully made, we mean it. We've carefully selected two vegan materials that deliver on both performance and planet-friendly promises.
GRS-Certified Vegan Leather Alternative
Our vegan leather isn't just another synthetic knock-off. It's responsible innovation in action. Crafted from recycled synthetic materials, every pair of our vegan leather barefoot shoes meets the rigorous standards of both the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) certifications.
What does that mean for you when shopping for vegan shoes Australia? It means:
- No animal products - at all including the lining!
- No PLAs (polylactic acid plastics)
- No forever chemicals that harm you or the environment
- Recycled materials that give new life to existing resources
- Safe for you and the planet - certified and verified
This isn't vegan leather with an asterisk. It's the real deal: durable, luxe-looking, and built to last without the environmental nasties hiding in the fine print. Our eco-friendly barefoot shoes prove that sustainable doesn't mean sacrifice.

Natural Cotton Canvas Vegan Shoes
Sometimes the best choices are the simplest ones. Our dyed and printed cotton canvas vegan sneakers bring you:
- Naturally vegan from the ground up
- Breathable comfort for all-day wear
- Timeless durability that stands the test of time
- Classic simplicity with eye-catching prints
Cotton canvas has been a footwear favourite for generations, and for good reason. It's honest, hardworking, and looks better with every adventure.
Why Choose PaperKrane Vegan Barefoot Shoes?
Choosing vegan barefoot shoes doesn't mean sacrificing style, quality, or that barefoot freedom PaperKrane is known for. Every vegan pair still features:
- Wide toe box for natural foot splay
- Zero-drop design for proper alignment
- Flexible, thin sole for ground feel and proprioception
- Lightweight construction that feels like barefoot walking
- Premium craftsmanship built to last for years
Whether you're rocking our Slick Boots in sleek vegan leather for work, stepping out in rad Retro Lows, or keeping it casual in printed canvas, you're getting the same foot-first philosophy that's made PaperKrane Australia's favourite barefoot shoe brand.

Ethical & Sustainable: More Than Just Vegan Shoes
Our commitment to conscious choices doesn't stop at cruelty-free materials. Every pair of PaperKrane ethical shoes Australia is:
- Australian designed with Melbourne street style in mind
- Ethically manufactured in Vietnam by skilled artisans
- Made in fair conditions with living wages and respect
- Built to last - reducing waste through longevity
That means that for our non-vegan pairs, we also source leather from dead-stock materials when we can, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. It's all part of our mission to create sustainable barefoot shoes that feel as good to buy as they do to wear.

Caring for Your Vegan Barefoot Shoes
Vegan materials deserve love too! Keep your eco-friendly barefoot shoes looking fresh with:
- Daily care: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap
- Deep cleaning: Gentle hand wash with cold water and mild detergent, air dry completely
- Protection: Use sprays suitable for vegan materials (like KIWI Sneaker Protector or Collonil Organic Cream)
With proper care, your vegan PaperKranes will go the distance – many customers wear their pairs daily for 2+ years.
