3. Bonnie
Bonnie is a vegan shoe that perfectly combines safety and comfort. Not only is it slip-resistant but it’s also puncture-resistant - two key features every warehouse worker needs in a pair of safe, comfortable footwear.
It’s also waterproof, so there’s no need to worry about liquid spills seeping through the shoes. Bonnie is a shoe that has the composite toe feature.

Consider your usual working environment to determine whether a composite toe will suffice or whether you need a steel toe shoe.
4. Clyde
For those conscious of the materials their shoes are made out of, Clyde may be the shoe for you. It’s a vegan shoe and has a microfibre upper.
