About Empyrean Luxury Vegan Shoes

Empyrean Luxury was founded on the principles of protecting animals and the environment. Their PETA-approved status, use of vegan materials, and charitable activities speak to their commitment to keeping cruelty to animals out of their supply chain, and their shoe recycling program combined with green shipping methods and recycled packaging speaks to their environmental efforts.

What materials are used to make Empyrean Luxury shoes?

Unfortunately, there is very little information available on the Empyrean Luxury website with regards to what material is used to make their shoes; all that's mentioned is "genuine Italian vegan leather" and a "carved rubber sole" (both not applicable to all models of shoes they produce).

Of note, though, is that since they are PETA-certified vegan, their glues do not contain animal ingredients.
