Campo Trainers
by Veja Sells animal materials
£135
The vegan Veja. Cut from a corn-waste alternative to leather on the brand’s Amazonian rubber sole. A genuinely animal-free shoe from a brand that is not.

Assessed separately, on its own criteria. 70 earns the Sustainable badge. A strong environmental record never lifts a cruelty-free score, and a weak one never lowers it.

The V-10 and V-12, often listed elsewhere as vegan, are made with low-chrome bovine leather. The Campo is the model to buy if animal-free is the point.
Sells animal materials
Veja uses bovine leather across much of its range, and fish leather in parts of it, so the brand carries our animal-materials tag. The Campo itself is animal-free, and we list it with the brand’s tag so you know what the range includes.
This piece itself is animal-free, but buying it supports a brand that sells animal materials. Brands with this tag are listed after every brand that clears both gates, and cannot earn the Good badge. How the tag works
