Nagaba Vegan Shoes is an eco-friendly fashion brand established by lifelong friends. Ula and Ewa met in their early childhood and have been inseparable ever since. Years later, Ula moved to the United States with family. Despite the distance, Ula and Ewa stayed connected. Ewa and her husband own a well-known, family operated shoe manufacturing company in Poland – Nagaba. While Ula was starting her journey with veganism she was looking for cruelty-free shoes, and began to search for the best possible options. Soon she realized that it is hard to find durable, great quality shoes made of leather alternatives. Since Ewa had her own shoe company, Ula asked Ewa about creating a special vegan shoe for her. Shortly after, Ewa delivered Ula a beautiful pair of sneakers fashioned by hand. Ula was impressed. The shoes were great, and she knew that they were made without harming any animals. This inspired Ula and Ewa to create an eco-friendly brand - Nagaba Vegan Shoes, to better the world and provide immaculate lives for generations to come.
At Nagaba Vegan we are committed to design and manufacture top quality vegan shoes. Together, we thoughtfully choose the best quality vegan materials sourced from our trusted partners. The premium quality vegan materials transform into exceptionally durable shoes by the hands of our team of skilled craftsmen. Nagaba Vegan Shoes are made with care and attention to details because we know that great shoes last longer.
The Nagaba Vegan Shoe brand embraces the slow fashion values. Our goal is to design and manufacture timeless and versatile shoes to reduce unnecessary waste. We do not intend to release new shoe models every season. We would rather opt for a permanent seasonless collection. However, our customers have the possibility to express their personality and needs by choosing our custom shoe option. This feature allows you to create your very own vegan shoes, made by hand from high quality materials, that are made to last.
Nagaba Vegan Shoes are certified by Vegan Action – the most trusted and best recognized vegan organization in North America. Every single shoe style is reviewed and approved by Vegan Action. Each of the elements and materials we use to produce our shoes were verified and do not contain any animal derived substances. The whole process of making our shoes is confirmed as cruelty free.
We are proud to be a part of the Vegan Certified products family.

Nagaba Vegan Shoes supported an animal rescue campaign organized by Vegan Action. By filling their Piggy Bank, we have helped to save lives of piglets and find them a safe home. 155 potbellied pigs were abandoned on a farm in Orange, Virginia. Vegan Action and several other groups began working on the ground in January 2021 at the farm to get these pigs vaccinated, spayed and neutered, and rehomed. Multiple sanctuaries throughout Virginia, including Rangers Refuge, Hope and Serenity, Loving Farms, Sanctuary Rescue, Harmony Farms, and Faithful Friends Sanctuary Farm have been able to help with the most needed – the very pregnant sows. Fortunately, 14 of the rescued pigs were rescued and rehomed in time to have their babies in a safe, warm space.

We like giving back and we love all the animals. That’s why Nagaba Vegan Shoes since the very beginning continuously supports Farm Sanctuaries and donates 3USD from each pair of shoes sold.
Our support goes towards rescuing farmed animals, minimizing effects of animal agriculture on animals and the environment as well as inspiring humans to live with compassion and respect.
As vegans we already know how difficult it is to find great quality vegan shoes despite the variety of vegan materials on the market. Unfortunately, not all of them are made of quality materials for shoes and not all of them are safe for our health and environment. As a brand, Nagaba Vegan, we strive to deliver high quality vegan shoes while causing the least possible impact on our environment. Our experience allows us to choose only the premium quality vegan materials.
Therefore, we decided to use the microfiber leather (it is not PVC!) because it is considered the highest quality synthetic leather. Microfiber leather is very durable. Our suppliers have proven that in comparison to animal leather, it is a more tear and abrasion resistant material and it will not peel or crack. These fabrics have passed the most stringent controls and are declared environmentally friendly. Our materials are labeled by Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 and are REACH certified to help protect human health and our environment from harmful chemicals. If there is any hazardous substance, REACH restricts the use of this material. Also, the manufacturing process of this microfiber leather is CO2 free which is a huge advantage in the fight against global warming. To reduce environmental impact even more, we use soles that are upcycled from old shoes soles and car tires.
As a brand we constantly seek out innovative vegan materials, and we put them to the test. We want to ensure that any change in our shoe manufacturing process won’t affect the shoes quality or durability. Today there is an abundance of new plant-based materials popping up in the fashion-industry. While it is trendy to use conscious materials, we never want to be fooled or compromise our vegan materials for the quality of our product.
It’s very important to us, as a fashion brand, that we choose and use good materials. Fast-fashion is one of largest contributors to the world’s pollution. As an eco-friendly brand we have a big role to play, and we are conscious about that. That’s why we embrace the slow fashion values. Our goal is to design and manufacture great quality shoes to reduce unnecessary waste. If you choose better quality shoes over the cost, they will last you longer, and create a lot less trash. High quality vegan shoes are simply better for you, the animals, and the environment, too!
We can all embrace sustainability and help build a better world for everyone. To start, we need to look at how we live and understand how our choices affect the world. The actions we take have a huge impact on the welfare of animals and nature. Every one of us can make a difference!
