Introducingthe world's most sustainable fiber and also one of the most durable ones. 100% hemp shoes and hemp accessories for you to wear daily while saving the planet. It's time for you to hemp yourself up from head to toe.

I felt like I needed some summer shoes or some slippers to wear around the house and wanted to give these SunSlide's a try since I have absolutely loved the Seeker. I've tried wearing with and without socks, I prefer with socks but they're just as comfy without (plus the antimicrobial effects of the hemp really help with odor).


Again, absolutely amazing shoe, 10/10 they have continued to amaze me with the quality. The functionality is also just so smart, being able to just quickly step into the slipper is so handy although I generally take the extra few seconds to put them on snugly as they remind me a lot of Vans which I religiously wore before switching.


I love hemp, and I love brands like 8000 kicks who take hemp and make something great like these pair of shoes!

I liked how these brown seeker shoes looked from the day they arrived, but the real test was how they would hold up as daily driver shoes. I decided to take them as my only pair of shoes on week long trip to London, where I walked 15kms each day and wore them for around 14 hours every day. I usually don't travel with new shoes because they need wearing in. But these shoes, oh my god! they were super comfy throughout! - and not once did my feet hurt because of them. Moreover, they could easily take the rainy wet London weather and they looked great with anything I wore. I highly highly recommend them!! Can't wait to try the Hemp Chelsea boots that I ordered!! Thank you 8000 kicks, I hope you grow big and take the hemp material to new levels.


I'm pretty picky when it comes to shoes, but I was getting tired of buying the same pair of shoes every year because of how cheaply they're made to break down. After looking around a bit for some "healthier" shoes, I kept coming back to 8000Kicks as I just loved the idea of a hemp shoe; in my experience, hemp is an amazing fabric. I feel like I had to at least give them a try, and I'm glad I did because so far they've been great.


I haven't been able to test their water/stain resistance'ness, but otherwise they're super comfy and I really like the zero-drop benefits, I could really tell the difference between my last shoe. I haven't owned a sneaker in awhile, they usually feel too constricting for me but I haven't been bothered the same way by this shoe (it's taken a little bit for me to get readjusted to a sneaker). Packaging was *chefs kiss* ? and now I really wanna try out the slip-on's, I'm very impressed I hope 8000Kicks keeps up the great work because it shows.


The hemp material used is the best quality canvas I have ever worn. The comfort makes them my go to winter boot for casual use; in a short period of time I have walked several kilometres in these boots with no concerns with fit. I like these boots so much, we are creating an entire podcast episode just to discuss the 8000kicks process of making these boots. Thank you for these boots.


What a great bag! I was on a mission to find a bag that suited all my needs, I tried a bunch and a lot of them ended up not being as great as I had anticipated. Luckily this one is not one of those! The form is beautiful. I get compliments all the time. I got the black. Organizational Pockets are very thoughtful, I've tried a lot of bags before that have pockets that get in the way of the space potential or flop the bag out and away from the body when utilized. This one still retains a lot of space even with the organizational bits and doesn't flop out and away from the body too much when those are filled since they rest against the back- It keeps the bag nice and compact when walking around. The shoulder straps are some of the most comfortable I've had the pleasure of using! I have only been in light rain so far, but bag held up well. The secret Pocket is great on the back side. Feels like all my important documents are safe there. I haven't used the charging area yet. But that may come in good handy at some point. Only two small complaints, the laptop strap inside the bag is a little annoying because it doesn't unclasp. If I try to shove my laptop in there, it's a little hard to maneuver under that strap if I already have other items inside. I'm thinking about cutting it. In the photo, you can see my laptop is adding length and bulk to the top of the body because I couldn't sneak my laptop behind what I had already packed away. Also, the zipper pull broke off the main compartment pretty quick into my using of it. The zipper is still attached, but it's hard to pull it along with that longer attachment missing. Still, this bag is amazing and you should definitely try it! I use mine all of the time


We will see how they last. Ive just started wearing thee shoes, and so far so good. Very Comfortable, and fit in with the rest of my entire hemp outfit. Absolutely love them; and looking forward to my next purchase.


it's now over a year since I bought the shoes in light beige I'm 42 and a half and I took a 43 and they are perfect for the size and I find them very beautiful, slightly a little big on the outside before but we got used to it all the same they are quite comfortable and on the other hand there are negative points such as for example the interior is in normal basketball material and not hemp secondly it retains the perspiration of the feet the perspiration does not come out shoes when they are closed and we have wet feet and that's because the hemp fabric does not let water through, a hemp fabric which is not water repellent for me would have been much better compared to the breathing of the shoe and the feet. The hemp makes the shoe thermoregulatory, you don't get cold feet when it's cold and that's a positive point the shoe gives a nice style and they are classy one last thing is that I washed them simply with water and I wanted to dry them in the sun and the hemp has slightly blackened as if it had been slightly burned by the sun so avoid drying them in the sun


I ordered these shoes on a 30-off flash sale. They arrived to Finland in very good time, right in the spring when I'm about to switch out of my winter boots. I haven't really tested their waterproof-ness or durability since they're new, of course, but so far I really like the look and feel. They're a bit scratchy around the ankles as they're getting broken in, which is normal as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't hate them to have a bit of a better tread though. Nevertheless, so far I'm pleased with the purchase!


Update: the scratchiness on the heels did ease off after a week or so, I puddle tested the waterproof to excellent success. Worth noting that the color has faded (which is normal for organic dyes, it's why most hair dye is made of heavy chemicals), but they still look nice so I don't mind.


I recently purchased the 8000Kicks Explorer V2 shoe and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The shoe is comfortable and fits great (I'm typically a 9.5 and I ordered a size 10). I was particularly impressed with the waterproof feature as I wore them in heavy rain and snow (I'm in Utah) my feet stayed completely dry. The quality of the shoe is top-notch and I expect them to last for a long time. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable, comfortable, waterproof shoe.


Bought these in the spring last year. Wore them most days with and without socks. I have bad feet and I am tough on shoes. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Keep my feet warm and dry. Recently they have started to show wear. Ready to buy my next pair.


They're an amazing pair of shoes! Extremely comfortable and lightweight. Wore them to a 49ers game and it poured rain. Feet stayed dry throughout the entire time. Love them. Will recommend to others. Thank you the awesome pair of shoes.


8000Kicks are made from industrial hemp, a sativa branch, known as the sober cousin of marijuana.

Industrial hemp has been used since 8000 BC, and its properties include being anti bacterial, needing no fertilizers and almost no water to grow, it cleans and restores the nutrients in the soil, and it is also very durable. In fact, Hemp is so strong that Henry Ford even built a car out of it.

We are pioneers in the development of hemp and our goal is to bring back this powerful natural fiber and make hemp shoes mainstream.


AKU guarantees the quality of our men's hiking boots and shoes through rigorous quality control and testing. With only the highest quality materials and construction used to ensure every pair of boots reaches your doorstep ready to take on your next outing.


Thanks to collaborations with Vibram and Gore-Tex our hand built boots only use premium materials. You can have confidence that your boots will take you on a lifetime of adventures over the most rugged terrain.






Inside the box, you will find a pair of brightly colored sneakers with yellow shoelaces, and a miniaturized green 23 brick attached to the bottom of the laces. Upon further reserch, this is an ornamental shoelace tag which is called a deubr (also spelled dubrae).


On the plus side, this shoe is packed with details to please serious LEGO fans. The iconic LEGO Studs (with LEGO printed on them) are present in three places on the shoe: On the heel counter (around the back of the heel), three studs on the plastic lace holder, and on the shoelace tag (or deubr). Not only do we see the LEGO stud throughout the design, but we also see seven classic LEGO colors throughout the shoe (if you include 1White, 26Black, and 199Dark Stone GreyDark Bluish Gray).


While the color-matching on the laces and deubr is not perfect, it is close enough to clearly represent these classic LEGO colors. (Unless you have remarkable eyes, you are unlikely to be able to tell the difference unless you have actual LEGO bricks right next to them.)
