Choosing vegan shoes means committing to a more responsible future. At Zèta, we adopt a sustainable production method. Our models, handcrafted in Portugal, combine clean design and optimal comfort, all in a vegan sneaker. Every decision, from the choice of raw materials to logistics, is guided by respect for the environment and transparency.

Vegan shoes: a sustainable choice for the planet

A zero-waste approach is at the heart of our mission. By prioritizing recycling and vegan materials, our vegan shoes significantly reduce waste and their environmental footprint. Unlike traditional models, which often end up in landfills, our shoes are designed to last. We select robust, vegan, recycled, and recyclable raw materials to minimize the environmental impact of each pair. This choice contributes to product sustainability and the health of the planet. Choosing vegan and recycled shoes means opting for mindful consumption.

An ethical and cruelty-free commitment

Respect for living beings is another important aspect of our desire to reinvent fashion. At Zèta, we are committed to cruelty-free production: no animal derivatives are used in the composition of our sneakers. This ethical stance aligns with our values, which aim to produce better so that we all benefit.

Choosing vegan shoes means supporting a responsible production model where artisans and partners share the same ideals. You're wearing a powerful symbol of compassion and equality, while also opting for timeless sneakers.

Innovation in the service of responsible design

We've chosen to focus on innovation to combine durability and originality. We use bio-based soles, textiles made from recycled plastic bottles, and renewable cork. The added bonus of Zèta sneakers is that they have a story. We've chosen to incorporate grapes, corn, olives, coffee, and other ingredients into our shoes to give them a unique touch.

The result? Lightweight, comfortable, and durable vegan sneakers with a timeless design. The collections come in green sneakers , beige sneakers , and many other colors, for unique and socially conscious styles.

Transparency and responsible production of vegan shoes

Transparent communication is another cornerstone of vegan shoe creation. Unlike the often opaque discourse in the industry, we reveal every step of our value chain. From the origin of the materials to the manufacturing cost, everything is accessible. This transparency strengthens the trust we've built with you, our community, and our artisans. You can view our commitments right here , discover the complete traceability of each pair, and understand why our prices reflect a fair and responsible approach. Vegan shoes, traceable from start to finish.


Quality first : we prioritize recycled and innovative raw materials. From organic cotton to upcycled synthetic fibers and even grape pomace, each component undergoes a rigorous sorting process. Thanks to these initiatives, our vegan shoes reflect our commitment to respecting the planet and its inhabitants. Recycling helps limit water and energy consumption during the manufacturing of each shoe. And if a shoe reaches the end of its life, it can be returned and recycled again, thus completing the virtuous cycle.

"The idea is to raise awareness among consumers so that they turn to more sustainable and more reasoned purchases."

Laure Babin, founder of Zèta
