DopeKicks are durable and waterproof hemp shoes that are made with strong cannabis hemp fibers. The sneakers are 100% waterproof and vegan with insoles that are made from natural cork and outsoles made from recycled rubber. While many shoes and accessories are made with cotton, hemp requires much less water and the roots of the plant actually aerate the soil, leaving it richer for future crops.
The flexible and strong hemp sneakers are ideal even for heavy outdoor use, as they boast a rugged yet lightweight design with a good amount of grip. As well as featuring naturally anti-fungal and anti-microbial cork, one of the best selling features of the hemp shoes is its fully waterproof design that is resistant to stains, liquid and dust.
The innovative sneakers are ethically made in Portugal and are now being introduced to environmentally conscious consumers via Kickstarter.
