This RB report presents a data-driven ranking of the top 10 vegan-friendly footwear brands for women for 2026, based on their performance and popularity throughout the preceding year, 2025. The global vegan footwear market is a rapidly expanding segment, projected to be valued at over $34 billion in 2025 .
