Nature gives us everything we need for a good sneaker

Hemp sneakers are breathable, strong and kind to the planet. They soften with wear, too.

  • Grows fast and uses little water.
  • Hemp is gentle on skin and does not irritate.

    Very comfortable and light. The colour is just as it looks online and the size was spot on. I wear them every weekend at Surfers Corner and I recommend them 👍

    Great for walking and they look good too. Comfortable for long hours on my feet and I love the soft padding. The perfect everyday choice of takkies.

    These are so comfortable. I bought a pair for my sister and she wears them to the office. They look good with everything in her wardrobe.

    The lightest, most comfortable takkies I have owned. I wear them on the promenade every morning and they still look great after a wet Cape winter.
