If you've ever gone into a shoe store and had problems finding a sandal that fit both your feet correctly, I'm sure you've considered handmade shoes; something that didn't squeeze in just the wrong place or require an week long break in period that broke in your feet to suit the shoes more than the other way around.
Few people have their footwear custom made for them nowadays. It costs so much less to buy shoes off the shelf that, on the off chance you could locate a sandalmaker to do it, you would probably find that owning a pair would be an utterly extravagant indulgence.
Another option in footwear is handmade leather sandals. These sandals are easy to manufacture and often very affordable as making them requires far less material than other types of shoes. Moreover, these leather sandals are often made from recycled leather scraps leftover from the construction of other shoes, which increases their environmentally friendly factor. Despite their reasonable pricing, these shoes are also very stylish.
The use of custom leather for sandals is a natural choice. Custom leather is long lasting and durable, but it is also soft and breathable. When wearing leather sandals, you will find the strips of leather are softer and can conform to your foot more readily than tough woven fibers and man made materials, which you must often force your foot to conform to.
Sandals may not keep your feet as worm or as clean as regular shoes, but can be as adaptable to orthopedic needs. They are certainly better suited for warm climates and the improved airflow can not only make getting athlete's foot a problem of the past, but actually help cure an existing case; same with some forms of toenail fungus.
While leather sandals may not be strictly vegan, they do ensure that no part of the animal is wasted. It would be unwise to kill an animal to eat it, and then leave something as significant as the hide to simply rot away unused. It would be better to put the hide to good use, and in doing this you don't create a market for the slaughter of animals, but rather one for the more efficient use of animal products. In this market fewer animal products are used to make the same amount of things.
