We started 8000Kicks,with one vision in mind, to build the best-looking shoes with natural materials and with 0 animal by-products. If we can build a great product with vegan materials then we can show everyone in the industry that it is possible to make superior products without having the need to exploit animals and the environment. We chose HEMP because it is one of nature's greatest fibers. It is anti-bacterial, needs no pesticides and almost no water to grow and it is also very durable. In fact, Hemp is so strong that Henry Ford even built a car out of it.Our goal is to bring back this powerful natural fiber and make great vegan shoes for women.
