Finding the best vegan running shoes is difficult. You cannot just go to the store and purchase the latest Nike sneakers. Below I have listed what I believe are the highest quality and best running shoes for Vegans.
Merrell Road Glove 3– I personally do not believe in barefoot running, but if you happen to subsribe to that theory (I think it makes you more open to injury) this is probably the best barefoot running vegan shoe. It features a Vibrium out sole as well as TPU uppers. It is also washable in cold water.
Saucony Original Bullet Vegan– Designed by Saucony specifically for Vegan runners, this shoe featues an EVA midsole which will help contour to your individual foot shape. That is important if you have flat feet as this shoe will contour to your foot’s shape, while at the same time giving you arch support.
Onitsuka Tiger by Asics-This shoe is my favorite Vegan sneaker or running shoe. It provides the best of both worlds. This shoe features a two tone EVA midsole to provide support during running as well as to contour to the shape of your foot. The second thing it has is a TPU heel piece to stabilize your heel during gait. Now look at the construction of this shoe. If you have issues with your ankles this shoe will give you the most support and stability as well.
