Marks & Spencer is launching a range of affordable vegan shoes for both men and women this month.   This will be the brands first offering in the vegan fashion market, previously only offering vegan products in their food and beauty departments.

It will be offering 350 styles for men and women, available in store and online this month.  The styles on offer will include trainers, courts shoes, mules and loafers.

Leather and suede free accessories will also be available to compliment the range.

“After increased customer interest in veganism and a rise in online searches for related products, we decided to investigate the possibility of expanding our vegan-friendly offering into footwear and accessories,” Rachel Smith, senior footwear technologist at M&S.

“Over the year, we have analysed our products and gone the extra mile to ensure we offer a great selection that complies with all vegan requirements.”
