HIGH STYLE HIGH HEELS – OUR TOP 10 ECO FRIENDLY AND VEGAN FALL HIGH HEELED SHOES
by Carrie Pollare, Editor
Put away the sandals and bring on the fall shoes! Okay… so it’s November and many of you did that long ago, but our favorite vegan and eco friendly shoe designers are now rolling out their fall/winter styles. With every season, they get better and better…more sophisticated, more in tune with what’s in vogue and just plain hot! Recently, we brought you our picks for the season’s best eco friendly boots and now, here’s our list of fall’s high style high heels.
An educational note: There is a difference between an eco friendly shoe and a vegan shoe. Vegan means that absolutely no animal products are used, but the materials are not necessarily sustainable. Call it socially responsible. Eco friendly means the materials used are either recycled, vegetable tanned leathers (as opposed to chemically tanned) or other sustainable textiles.

Beyond Skin Gloria T-Bar Open Shoe in Black
We’ve been following this British company for a while, waiting patiently for them to start selling in the US and at last… Here they are! This great hand made, t-strap shoe is a combination of hemp and synthetic patent with a chunky heel. $284.95 at www.endless.com
Charmone Rosemary in Smoke
A traditional, pointed toe, medium heeled pump with a twist…of grosgrain ribbon that elegantly crosses the foot. Made of microfiber suede. $179 at www.charmone.com
Cri de Coeur Linneah
For those who think edgy, this anthracite slingback is a cross between a shoe and a bootie and we just love that! Made of distressed hemp canvas. $265 at www.nimli.com
Kalia Nobilia
We’ve known about this new Italian made eco friendly shoe collection with its gorgeous detailing for a while now…we were just waiting for delivery to the US. So, it’s still only for pre-order but we’d recommend ordering yours now because we promise, this line will be hot! The Nobilia (noble in English) reminds us of exactly that, nobility. Brown microfiber suede with purple velvet lace up trim. $340 at www.visionaryboutique.com - Pre-order by emailing info@visionaryboutique.com or call 310-659-1177.
Natalie Portman Picasso 2 in Red
Natalie Portman loves red. The very first shoe she wore from her first vegan collection was a red faux patent Mary Jane. This season she’s introduced a great red faux suede wedge with great fold detailing and we love red too! Nothing like a great pop of color in your accessories. $295 at www.tecasan.com
Neuaura Caroleena in Capuccino
A bit more conservative vegan pump with some style. Like the ankle strap and thick heel, as well as the spectator styling of the toe. Made from synthetic patent leather. $84 at www.neuaurashoes.com
Olsen Haus Pure Pump in Navy
We are completely in love with this whole collection, but this navy blue 100% vegan patent, croc-embossed pump, complete with covered platform and ankle strap, is to die for! $215 at www.olsenhaus.com. To order, email sales@olsenhaus.com
