Get it? Because it’s almost spring? Hehe.
Did I literally decide to write this post because of the pun? Maybe. But puns aside, spring is a great time to invest in footwear! With warmer temps, you can finally cast aside your thick wool socks and rainboots for comfy sneakers and cute sandals.
Shop my favorite ethical spring shoes:
Allbirds Wool Runners in Tuke Dusk (Limited Edition!)
Look how perfect this dusty pink color is! I’ve been wearing my Allbirds wool loungers whenever the weather permits and love how cozy they are, but I really love the look of the runners and may have just snagged a pair for myself… These wool sneakers are the perfect casual spring shoe for those of us that walk a lot or just like to be comfortable. These also come in other cute limited edition colors like red, sage, and lavender!
This is such a classic style that you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again! It’s versatile and the block heel means it’ll be comfy enough for most casual outings. If open-toe shoes aren’t your thing, Nisolo also makes a similar closed-toe mule as well as a closed-toe mule with a lower heel. I can’t decide which ones I like more! Get $25 off your first purchase.
Everlane Penny Loafer Mule in White
I’ve been coveting these shoes for at least a year now, but I still don’t trust myself with white shoes. If you’re a better (i.e. less clumsy) person than I, these mules are the perfect modern, dressed down alternative to the classic loafer. They also come in black and burgundy.
These 100% vegan block heels are not only free from animal cruelty, but also so chic and classic. I love this sky blue color and think it’ll be perfect for spring! It also comes in black, brown, and beige. Plus, it’s a block heel. Comfy is the cutest look, after all.
Matt & Nat Cory Sandals in Silver
Metallic shoes have been trending for a while, and these 100% vegan beauties are definitely in! The sleekness of the pointed toe pairs so well with the silver color, giving these sandals a futuristic yet timeless look. These also come in black, tan, and beige.
Which shoes were your favorite? And what are you looking forward to about spring?

![is RECYCLED PLASTIC really sustainable?
many eco brands are making clothes from recycled plastic water bottles and even fishing nets. this takes plastic out of landfills and reuses them – which is good, right?
the real answer isn’t so simple! plastic clothing releases microfibers when we wash them (and even when we just wear them about our daily lives) which go into our oceans and end up inside sea life. microfibers accumulate toxins in the bodies of animals, meaning that not only is marine life in danger, but we are too when we consume seafood.
so what can we do?
🌿prioritize buying non-plastic clothing when possible
🌿wash your plastic clothing inside a microfiber-catching bag (I have a @guppyfriend & @girlfriend makes them too)
🌿install a microfiber filter in your washing machine if you own one (@girlfriend makes them, too!)

I’ve been wanting to try a pair of their shoes! Would love to know if you get them and what you think.
Thanks for sharing, I love supporting ethical businesses.
You’re welcome!
I actually quite like these shoes. Good on you for these top choices. And all the best of the Spring weather to you and yours. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks! Glad you liked them.
Thank you for highlighting ethical brands. I actually just discovered Everlane and loved their classic pieces but I still had no idea they were an ehical brand. Makes me want to buy more from them! Those silver flats are so on point with what we saw on the runway this month. 🙂

Yes, love the metallic trend!
Love these picks! I’m always trying to integrate sustainable and ethical brands into my every day clothing, but they can be (sadly) so hard to find
They can be hard to find but I’m seeing new brands pop up every day!
Cutest shoe round up!! I love a good open toe mule!!
Thanks Jen! Me too 🙂
I think these are all great. I find it awesome that mules are back in style. I haven’t seen anyone wear a pair of those in years!
It’s such a great style!
You can NEVER have too many shoes! I love these ethical options you’ve listed. I’ll be checking them out for sure!
Thanks!
I love that these aren’t just ethical but that they are super cute too! Hugs, Kait

Yes!! There are so many cute ethical options out there.
These are such cute shoes. I can see why you are a fan.
I think so too! Thanks Elise!
Love these ideas! Ethical fashion is something that has not been enough of a priority for me, but that is something I am striving to change!
Yay! That’s exciting because it’s so fun to learn about the sustainable and ethical fashion world 🙂
I still have yet to own a pair of open toe mules! Definitely going to make sure I get some for spring.
Yes, they’ll be perfect for spring!
These mules shoes look pretty chic, they seem to be extremely versatile and ideally match different clothes. I like the detailing that fresh things up and makes a very unique detail. The metallic silver ones are my favorites.

Thanks Xenia! I like the metallic ones, too!
