Traditional footwear materials like leather can potentially contain harmful chemicals which some people may want to avoid. At the same time, health and wellness has become a guiding principle for many lifestyle choices. Customers are increasingly health-conscious and prefer products believed to have wellness-boosting properties. Certain plant-based materials used in vegan footwear like natural rubber and wool are considered breathable and help keep feet cool and dry. Some plant extracts and natural dyes are touted as having antimicrobial qualities. Vegan alternatives to leather are often marketed as inherently “purity” focused and free of potential allergens. Growing mindfulness about toxic chemical exposure and importance of clean, toxin-free living is influencing preferences. Flexitarians and health advocates opt for vegan footwear believing it aligns better with their philosophy of overall well-being and protection from potentially harmful inputs. Experience of veganism as part of a holistic healthy lifestyle pushes the appeal of associated product categories in the green direction.
