The Davis holy grail of accessories has finally been found. Can I have a drum roll please? Vegan shoes! In a city so heavily based upon sustainability, eco-friendly lifestyles, and not to mention those cute little cows, Davis is undoubtedly in need of some sustainable clothing and accessory options. If you ever wondered why all of the hippies run rampant through the streets without any shoes on then ta-da! you now have your answer. No more barefoot Yolo Berry runs (I’m not kidding, I actually saw this happen and it was pretty repulsing)! Though there’s often a hefty price to pay for shoes that look, smell, and feel like the real-leather deal, there are also some price-conscious options that go by the name of Toms. Here are some cute, vegan friendly pieces for your ever evolving, sustainable wardrobes:
-Tom’s Black Tangier Vegan Classics $54 @ www.toms.comÂ
Faux Suede + Recycled Faux Suede
3″ Wedge W/1″ Platform $265 @https://www.olsenhaus.com/details.php?pid=417&cat=1&subcatid=3
