NAE Vegan Shoes
Portugal · Est. 2008 · Affordable
NAE Vegan Shoes was founded in Lisbon in 2008 by Paula and Alex Pérez. Its name stands for “No Animal Exploitation,” reflecting the rule behind every collection: the shoes contain no animal-derived materials. The founders remain involved in the business, which describes its footwear as designed and made in Portugal. NAE offers women’s and men’s styles across everyday and dress footwear, including sneakers, loafers, sandals, boots and heels. Its material selection includes cork, apple- and pineapple-derived alternatives, and recycled materials; the composition varies by shoe. The brand says pairs are handcrafted in small Portuguese workshops and identifies its footwear as PETA-certified vegan. Customers can buy through NAE’s international online shop, which provides shipping information and size guidance. Individual product pages include fit notes, a useful check when moving between a boot, loafer and sneaker. For shoppers specifically seeking vegan footwear, NAE’s animal-free requirement applies across the brand, while its separate material and construction details should be checked style by style.
