I've spent tons of time trying to find out which Birkenstocks are completely vegan, but there is surprisingly little information out there! Although there are many Birks that are made with Birko-flor or other synthetic upper material, most of them have a SUEDE footbed liner!

BUT... I have finally compiled a pretty comprehensive list of Vegan Birks (with pics and all!). Check it out here: www.soulfulbeadia.ca/birkenstock.html

I'm also working on a veggie links page. I only have a hand-full of links up right now, but I'll be putting up a few each week. You can see what I have so far at www.soulfulbeadia.ca/veglinks.html

If you want to link to my page, let me know!

Here's a few sites that list the leather-free birks that they sell. A few might have wool in them, though, but most of them are vegan. They might have a few that you don't have, but I'm not quite sure.

BTW- thank you for creating such a nice site! :)

I'm a birkie man, and have been since I was sixteen (my first gf was a vegetarian, and I can say, for those of you who don't know, vegetarian ladies smell very nice compared to their omni counterparts) when I was introduced to them by a very nice girl ;)

Great site. Thanks for gathering all this helpful info...

Thanks, poopiebear! I bought my first birkies this year, and they definitely won't be my last.

Yeah! I've been wearing birks since I was 12 or 13, but haven't bought a pair since I went vegan - the shoes last forever! It's like the more you wear them, the more comfy they are on your foot. But, I would like a new pair just because. :shy:

Haha! You a funny man, Rev!

I think I'll have to join a support group soon 'cuz I can't stop dreaming about getting my next pair! I just bought my first pair less than a year ago and now I'm up to three, planning to get my fourth! Love my Birks!! (I think I have a problem! :dizzy:)
