As the pressure to make more ethical and eco-friendly fashion choices mounts, I find myself scrutinizing my wardrobe with fresh eyes. However, I’m struggling to switch from leather trainers to vegan alternatives due to their unappealing appearance.

Fortunately, there are a few brands that excel in this area. Here are some of the most stylish men’s vegan leather trainers available.
