About COG
COG is an eco-responsible fashion brand, founded in April 2020 by Camara Omar Gwenhaël, with the belief that "The value of an object does not lie in its rarity, but in the ethical concern invested in its manufacture." COG combines design, comfort, and ethics by offering 100% cruelty-free, PETA-approved vegan shoes. Made in Europe from ecological materials, our shoes reflect a deep commitment to protecting animals, the planet, and biodiversity.
At COG, we are dedicated to creating fashion that respects all living beings. Our shoes are produced in small, family-run manufacturers in Portugal, ensuring ethical production through close collaboration and fair working conditions. Since our launch, we have been striving to shape a more compassionate fashion industry while offering high-quality products that align with our values of sustainability and respect for life.

COG: Vegan Shoes, Materials & Fit
Find out about COG materials, everyday comfort, fit and care for vegan trainers.
What kind of style can I find in the COG collection?
COG combines vegan materials with styles ranging from retro-inspired trainers to classic dress shoes. It is an option when you want animal-free footwear that fits an existing wardrobe, whether your everyday look is casual or more tailored.
What are corn-based materials in vegan shoes?
Corn-based leather alternatives use plant-derived ingredients within a composite material. Textile supports and other components contribute to strength and flexibility. The useful comparison is the complete upper and lining information, not the plant name alone.
How does COG use recycled materials?
COG describes using recycled components in areas such as linings, laces and soles, with the exact combination depending on the design. This lets you compare not only the outer look but also how different parts of a shoe are made.
Can vegan trainers feel comfortable throughout the day?
Comfort depends on fit, cushioning, lining and the space your feet need. COG’s product information lets you compare these details alongside the design. Choose for your daily walking and standing routine rather than treating the material name as a comfort rating.
How do I choose the right fit in COG shoes?
Measure both feet and check any fit or measurement information provided on the chosen product page. Consider width as well as length, particularly if you need extra room or use your own insoles. If you need a measurement or fit detail that is not listed, contact NEW WORLD GUARDIANS before ordering.
How can I keep vegan trainers looking good for longer?
Remove dirt gently, use care suitable for the upper and let shoes dry naturally. COG recommends hand cleaning rather than machine washing. Regular light care is a practical way to look after a favourite pair.
