    Hi,

    As the title suggests I'm looking for animal friendly uggs. I have the crappy penneys ones which are vegan by default but I really want good quality ones. Anyone know where I can get some in ireland?

    Oooh I had a look on that website ... the brown ones with the buttons & the cream lining are really cute! I think I have to invest :)

    Thank you! I was hoping to find a bricks and mortar shop in Ireland so I can check them out for sizing and quality first. I should be so lucky I reckon!

    I just found the site Wills Vegan Shoes based in the UK. I also just impulsively ordered a pair of boots (wedge heel ones) ... I hope they are okay! No ugg style ones but some nice other kinds!!

    I think its the nicest shoe site I've found so far, and very reasonably priced, although I do like Beyond Skin too!

    That site looks good, no mens yet though. They say soon! Thanks.

    Wills vegan shoes are the only nice vegan shoes/boots I've seen for men

    Just a quick update - I got my boots this morning from Wills & they're lovely. Really nice fit & quality and they even have the vegan logo on the inside of the boot! I would def order from that site again.

    And I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for vegan Ugg style ones :)

    PAWJ California makes some nice ones, and they're currently PETA-certified vegan - I don't know about retail availability in Ireland, but they ship worldwide.

    New Orchard is a good bet too - they have free worldwide shipping, are higher-end, and are currently PETA-approved vegan.

    Other options include Vesica Piscis (not certified vegan, but claim to be vegan-friendly and based/made in Elche, Spain, which is known as the 'cradle of footwear), as well as high-end Zette (currently PETA-approved, made in Europe/Brazil, based in Australia, and ships worldwide).

    I hope this helps!
