It’s a cold winter night. You’ve got vegan hot chocolate in one hand and Animalkind in another, all while you’re snug in a cozy vegan blanket. Everything seems perfect—until you look down at your bare, frozen feet! You’re in major need of fuzzy slippers, but they definitely shouldn’t come at the expense of sheep, minks, or any other animals.

When looking for vegan slippers, watch out for fur, shearling, suede, leather, silk, and wool. Instead, look for Sherpa (also known as “faux shearling”), faux fur, polyester, and velour. To make it easier for you, here are PETA’s top picks:

UGG, whose entire footwear line was previously made from animals’ stolen wool and other body parts, has just launched an entirely vegan line—including slippers! This victory follows pressure from PETA and thousands of its supporters and will help prevent the killing of gentle sheep. Made from carbon-neutral plant materials such as sugarcane and wood pulp, these shoes also tread lightly on the environment.

This exciting first step is yet more proof that the future of fashion is vegan—now, we need to get UGG to ditch all shearling and wool. Take action below!

Hanes offers vegan slippers in a variety of budget-friendly designs. Check out the brand’s silkworm-free embroidered slippers for your entire family or its cozy slipper socks.

Urge Gucci, Prada, and Louis Vuitton to Ban Exotic Skins

While the companies discussed above offer animal-friendly slippers, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, and other popular brands don’t yet offer vegan options. Fur farms—where sensitive animals such as minks are crammed into cages with no room to move or clean themselves—have become hotspots for the novel coronavirus all around the world. Likewise, on wool farms, workers cut sheep and stitch up their wounds without painkillers. These farms are ticking time bombs for the next pandemic. Steer clear of animal abuse, and urge these companies to stop using animals for clothing.

Tell Forever 21 to Stop Selling Wool, for Sheep’s Sake

Nonvegan slippers use the wool and skin from sheep, who are excellent at finding plants to make themselves feel better. Sheep use this skill to treat any members of their herd who are sick. Companies sometimes make slipper trim from minks, solitary beings who prefer to explore by themselves. Sheep and minks are just some of the many animals whose lives you can spare by shopping for vegan slippers and other items. Need help shopping? Check out PETA’s vegan clothing guide.
