Its no secret that we as the human race are rapidly eating away (literally) at all the resources at our disposal, and while big steps are being taken to soften our reliance on coal and oil, we need to spare a thought for our 4-legged friends who high-key provide so much for us that we take for granted. Not long ago we saw Birkenstock make their first move into the vegan footwear space and now fellow casual footwear giants Clarks has followed suit with the new Vegan Icons range.

Debuting with arguably the 2 most iconic silhouettes — the Wallabee and the Desert Boot — you can now enjoy that same timeless style and Portuguese craftsmanship, safe in the knowledge that no animals were harmed in the making. Each pair is plant-based from the textured textile upper down to the glues and insole, finished with a subtle vegan call-out embossed into the heel.

Both models are available now from Clarks priced at $150
