Thanks for all of your wonderful comments on this Win It Wednesday. The winners of the OPI nail polish are Alicia Webster, Jamie Bevia, and Jill Brown. Congratulations!
It's flip-flop season, and it seems like everyone is busting out a fancy pedicure. I think I can safely say that we all want pretty feet without contributing to the horrors of animal testing, so it's a good thing (for us and for animals) that OPI nail polish is cruelty-free. For this week's "Win It" Wednesday, three of you can have fashion-forward tootsies on us.

How do you win? Tell us about your favorite kind of animal-friendly footwear. Whether it's your vegan TOMS or your worn-out Chucks, we want to know. Three lucky people will each win a set of OPI nail colors from South Beach's spring collection.
The contest ends on May 27, 2009, and we'll choose the three most fashion-savvy comments as the winners on May 29, 2009. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Check back every Wednesday for new prizes. Good luck!

I love to go walking, so I LOVE my Vegan Hemp Saucony running shoes. They are like running on pillows, not tight and stiff like leather running shoes....and so cute! Brown and green. Everyone should have a pair!

I LOVE Moo Shoes - they have the greastest selection of animal friendly shoes on the planet. The styles are incredible and you can find everything from casual to formal in one place!

My favorite animal-friendly footwear is my Converse, because I use them all the time! They´re perfect to wear everytime, and they´re not hot or cold to wear. Ps: My birthday is May 22, it would be a great birthday present! :) Have a nice day!

I love my TOMS! I have the silver glitter ones so it adds a little flair!

My favorite vegan shoes are definetely Chuck Taylors!! Very stylish! I'm glad such a BIG COMPANY supports anti-animal cruelty, because everyone wears these shoes!
Posted by: Jennifer Diaz | May 13, 2009 11:51 AM
My all-black Chuck taylors are definitely my favorites. I love switching up the laces!

VeganChic has great shows. I loved my vegan "Ugg" type boots with a cool rocker tattoo on the back. Fab with skinny jeans and a cute faux fur hoodie!
Posted by: stephanie | May 13, 2009 12:25 PM
I <3 payless -- nearly all shoes are vegan and I can afford to get shoes in EVERY style and color. I love it!!
Posted by: Jill Brown | May 13, 2009 12:30 PM
My daughter and I both rock the pink low cut chuck's, though all of our shoes are animal friendly. We made a decision as a household to make it a permanent rule.

I love my New Balance cross training shoes, but if I'm going to show off my perfectly polished toes, I'll wear my Avon white flip-flops with rhinestones!! :)

The best pair of Ugg-style boots I've ever owned are the vegan boots I bought from Alternative Outfitters. They have garlands of flowers embroidered up the sides and are very pretty, and the quality has been outstanding. I bought them 3 or 4 years ago and I can still wear them, as opposed to the genuine Uggs my employer bought me for Christmas at about the same time, which wore out after one season (my husband and I had a bet which pair of boots would last longer and I won).

My fav.animal friendly footwear??It may sound "simplistic" but it's my bare feet....yup, nothing feels like the first treck through the grass in spring/summer w/bare feet;and who doesn't love walking along the shoreline on a hot day, waves lapping on that fresh pedicure???
Bare feet = best animal friendly footwear by far...

I love my gorgeous green heels from Mooshoes. They're vegan AND sweatshop-free, and they get all kinds of compliments from people who didn't realize you could get non-leather shoes.
Posted by: Canaduck | May 13, 2009 01:28 PM
My bare feet! Being in shoes all day at work and school, my kids and I love to just run around barefoot in our yard during the weekends. It's a great way to get the kids to appreciate the outdoors as well. As for shoes, my favorite is the Madden Girl line from Steve Madden which is sold at my local vegan store.
Posted by: Le | May 13, 2009 01:45 PM
My favorite vegan shoes are my MacBeth's- they are so comfortable!
Posted by: Kathleen W. | May 13, 2009 01:46 PM
Crocs for me. Lucky me I can wear them for work too.
Posted by: Arie Beresteanu | May 13, 2009 01:53 PM
Steve Madden girl has a bunch of vegan styles that are not only compassionate but cute!

I LOVE my vegan Birkenstocks:) I wear them all summer, and the weather here in Norway's just nearly warm enough for me to cast off the tyranny of socks for a few months and let the wind caress my toes...
Posted by: David Welsh | May 13, 2009 02:06 PM
I absolutelty love my black faux suede slouch boots I got from AlternativeOutfitters.com!!! They are soooo comfy and they go with everything! Not to mention completely cruelty-free! :D
Posted by: WolfGirl21 | May 13, 2009 02:21 PM
My vegan New Balance shoes are for every day use. They're super comfy and last forever. for work or going out on the town, it has to be something cute/sassy/fierce and vegan from Payless.
Posted by: Virginia | May 13, 2009 02:40 PM
I have 3 pairs of Chuck Taylor's in black, red and natural. I live in them.
As a Chi towner, I need shoes that can catch an El train, dance at a jazz club and explore a neighborhood. As an animal rights activist, I need shoes that are as kind to animals as they are to my feet. Converse provides pairs that can fufill all my needs.
Posted by: Alyson Paige Warren | May 13, 2009 02:45 PM
I love my mesh and rubber Nikes as well as the new Keds Green line. But I'd definitely get some vegan flip-flops if I won the nail polish so I could show off my tootsies!
Posted by: Kelli | May 13, 2009 02:51 PM
I loooove a great pair of Chuck Taylors! My daughter and I both have a few pairs. You can wear them with jeans, shorts, dresses or skirts...and you can wear them year round (literally)!The velcro ones and the slip-ons are the best for her because then she can put them on ALL BY HERSELF! I love them too cuz I can feel vintage AND stylish all at the same time! LUVS THEM!!!
Posted by: Haleh Samadnouri | May 13, 2009 03:13 PM
I was really excited when I learned on Peta2.com, that Converse doesn't use leather and is cruelty free!!Well, the next day I went to a rummage sale and found a pair of awesome, pink, Converse shoes for only $1! I love Converse and am so happy they are cruelty free!
Posted by: Jennie Weer | May 13, 2009 03:17 PM
My fav footwear has to be havaianas flip flop...in all there colors they can match any outfit...and SOOO comfy!!!
Posted by: Sandrine | May 13, 2009 03:41 PM
My favorite Vegan shoes are a few pairs of Chinese Laundry high heels that I have. I work at a bank, so I need to dress up, and these are perfect. Cruelty-free and very fashionable. Doesn't get it any better than that! :)
Posted by: Nicole Sutton | May 13, 2009 03:50 PM
Hmm footwear... I'll say my Avon faux leather stillettoes. All the more need for nail polish! Woot! ^_^
Posted by: Cat! =^-^= | May 13, 2009 05:08 PM
My favorite pair of shoes were given to me by a friend, already well-worn. They are faded pink low-top converse with black and pink star laces. I wore them absolutely everwhere, until they started getting holes that separated the canvas from the bottom of the shoe! Now I still have them for memories sake; I even glued one on a poster for a school project. I got an A (of course).
Posted by: Amelia | May 13, 2009 05:09 PM
Olsen Haus--I splurged and got a pair...I LOVE them!!!
Posted by: Amy A | May 13, 2009 07:18 PM

Posted by: Erin Harmon | May 13, 2009 07:44 PM
My favs are my Moo Shoes - always get compliments when I wear them and are proud to spread the word to others!
Very chic and fashionable and
most important, cruelty free!
Posted by: Diana | May 13, 2009 10:03 PM
I love my Brighton ankle boots from Earth Footwear. I bought them at MooShoes.com. They are so comfy. The negative heel technology really works for improving posture and core strength, I swear! Even my trainer agrees that I have very good core strength after wearing the boots daily. The best part is, they do all this without any leather or hide glue required!
Posted by: Jazz | May 13, 2009 10:54 PM
I rock any and every pair or cute vegan heels I can find and afford! And I love OPI polish.. It goes fabulous with open toes!
Posted by: Chelsea Patterson | May 13, 2009 11:25 PM
Moo Shoes definitely!! After months of searching I finally found the perfect pair of combat boots -- called Vegetarian Shoes! They were so pricey, but worth every penny. :D They fool everyone who asks where my boots come from (I always tell them it's not from a cow!)
Posted by: Monika | May 14, 2009 08:49 AM
I love my Converse. They are great!
Posted by: Eliane | May 14, 2009 09:20 AM
My husband bought me Simple shoes from alternativeoutfitters. My favorite by far! They're like gloves for my feet...so awesome.
Posted by: Debra Benfer | May 14, 2009 02:00 PM
Me, my twin and my older sister are all young vegetariens. We all live in the same house. What does this add up to? A collection of vegan shoes. We love our shoes, all of them. But my personal favorite brand are converse:D I absolutely love them. We own about 10 pairs of real/fake converse and i love every single pair.I love that they are made from 100% animal-free materials and are super comfy, beautiful and even pretty durable.I love that you can buy them at almost any shoe store in a million different colors. Vegan shoes rock:)

I have always loved my Birkenstocks. When I evolved from vegetarian to vegan, I started to re-think my choices in everything I wear. Then this hot guy on a commercial caught my eye -it was the AT&T TOMS ad. So, I goggled TOMS shoes! How awesome and inspiring is he?
Posted by: jessica | May 14, 2009 08:48 PM
fake wet leather is awsome fake leather as well as cruelty free has more texture and is gorgeas i love my pleather boots and also heeled flats that dont even have anything to do animals in the material
Posted by: pepper | May 14, 2009 09:23 PM
I love my Moo Shoes. Fashionable, sexy, fun, and cruelty free footwear!
I always get a lot of compliments on my footwear, and I am proud to tell them the are vegan shoes. People are always surprised when I tell them - because they look so chic. I am glad that there are more alternatives every year !

chuck taylors of course
Posted by: Sara A | May 16, 2009 05:03 PM
I love my all-rubber flip-flops that are brown on top with rainbows on the sides. They were my mom's and she never wore them, and she got them in 1979, so they have that fabulously cool retro vibe too.
Posted by: Alicia Webster | May 26, 2009 01:07 PM
My hemp Rainbow flip-flops are comfortable AND ecofriendly. I absolutely love them!
Posted by: Whitney | May 26, 2009 01:46 PM
