At 8000Kicks, our mission has always been clear: create stylish, high-performance shoes made entirely from natural, vegan materials—with zero animal by-products. We believe great footwear doesn’t need to come at the expense of animals or the planet.
That’s why we chose hemp, one of nature’s most sustainable and powerful fibers. Hemp grows with little water, no herbicides, and naturally resists microbes. It’s incredibly strong and durable—so much so that it has even been used to build cars.
As pioneers in hemp footwear, we’re bringing this remarkable fiber back to life in a new way: making durable, sustainable, and truly vegan shoes.
Looking for more? Pair your shoes with one of our vegan hemp backpacks for the full eco-friendly setup.
Unlike leather, Hemp is a very porous fabric that allows for ventilation. And unlike leather and wool (both animal by-products), hemp is anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. At the end of the day when you remove your vegan shoes, you will see a pair of healthy feet.
Stay vegan, and use hemp!
Better Process, Better Product
Many shoes out there, including vegan footwear, use animal-based glue. These are not only toxic, but they defeat the original purpose of using vegan materials.
Here at 8000Kicks, we go the extra mile. We developed a water-based glue that is 100% vegan. When in contact with heat, the water evaporates and the adhesive is ready to connect with the shoe for an unbreakable bond. You never have to sacrifice quality for the environment or vice versa.
Strong and Flexible
Our fabric comes from the best hemp suppliers available. From east to west, we source nothing but the most lightweight and durable materials. That gives our vegan shoes an edge in comfort and longevity.
The way our yarn is built and woven together makes the fabric super adjustable to customers' feet, guaranteeing maximum comfort from the 1st day. Our vegan shoes mold to your feet as you wear them, so your feet can receive the support they need to carry you throughout your life.
Temperature Regulating Shoes
Made to withstand every season, temperature-regulating vegan shoes come in handy whenever you go out.
Insulation is one of the natural properties of hemp and for that reason, Hempcrete is gaining popularity in construction. At 8000Kicks, we use the exact same hemp properties to keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Vegan and Water Repellent
Our vegan shoes are for the active person, the challenger, the explorer. We built something that could provide the best experience under any condition, and that’s why we made them water repellent.
They have a dual layer protection, starting with water repellent wax coated fabric that keeps them clean, and a waterproof membrane that keeps all liquids out.

Can I smoke the shoe?
Do you really want to smoke our shoe? XD
Hemp is the sober cousin of marijuana, which means that it has no psychoactive components, less than 0.3% THC, which means that technically you are definitely not getting high. Now seriously, please note that smoking the shoe is not a good idea and might get you hospitalized.
