Yom Kippur is truly one of Judaism’s most sacred holidays, if only because it brings millions of Jews together to unite and proclaim, “Man, bagels never tasted so good.”

Fasts have been broken; sins, atoned; and, hopefully, shoes well worn. We hope some of our recommendations influenced you this season, and we’d be thrilled to know how they worked out. My Yom Kippur Shoes are featured above: Crocs Devario Mesh. Did they fit? Were they comfortable? Were they stylish? Did your kids even notice? Or, better still—what did we miss?

That’s the dialogue we’d like to get started. We’d love to hear your comments on the blog, and tweets with the hashtag, #yomkippurshoes. By getting this conversation going, we’ll be better prepared for next year’s fashions, and prove that Jewish aesthetic identity can be more than just black hats and payot.

When it comes to Yom Kippur shoes for men, they don’t have as much of a choice as the fairer sex. Men’s shoes styles are culturally limited to brown and black leather, with the biggest deciding factor being whether to opt for laces or a slip-on—oh, the difficult decisions!

Luckily, vegan-friendly trends have given men a full gamut of dress-up options for formal wear. And isn’t it nice to spice up your style with a little variety? These seven shoes are comfortably cushioned, aesthetically traditional and, most importantly, 100-percent leather-free and God-approved.
