The World’s First Waterproof Hemp Sneakers

8000 Kicks has created the world’s first waterproof hemp sneakers, blending nature, innovation and comfort. From the fields to your feet, these shoes stand out for their care for the planet. The waterproof layer keeps your feet dry in puddles and rain, but still lets them breathe.

No need to worry about losing comfort while out walking dogs, or heading to work. Every part, from the laces to the soles, uses plant-based or recycled materials. Even the packaging is recycled and plastic-free. Mud and dirt brush off hemp much easier than most fabrics.

Hemp grows fast, uses little water and soaks up carbon from the air. It’s strong yet soft on your feet and doesn’t trap odours. The fibres hold up longer than cotton or synthetic materials, letting your shoes last through everyday wear and outdoor adventures.

As most good brands of sustainable vegan sneakers are sold online, get your feet measures in a shop, to save the hassle of returns (Europeans don’t offer half-sizes, so choose the larger size and wear thicker socks!

Vegan sneakers are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth (laundering is not recommended, but if you do, use a microfibre filter) to stop microplastics leaching from the machine, into the sea).
