THE 1ST WATERPROOF
HEMP BACKPACK
Hemp backpacks?
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 it's properties include being anti bacterial, needing no fertilizers and almost no water to grow, it cleans and restaures 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 and hemp backpacks mainstream.

Hemp is also a super durable material, that will make your backpack last years before it wears out.

TRUST PILOT REVIEWS
I bought a pair of these and had to exchange them for a different size. The customer service representative was extremely helpful and let me swap out the size and color. The shoes fit great, and I really like the style. It’s crazy to think that they’re made of hemp and algae but it makes me feel better about owning something that’s not going to pollute the Earth. I hope all shoes are switched to hemp eventually but in the mean time I’m glad I’ve found my new shoes and I’ll continue to purchase them! :)
LESLEY
I've bought "hemp shoes" before, and been disappointed, so I wasn't sure what to expect here, but these shoes are beyond my expectations!
They're stylish, super light, and comfortable!
Everything about their packing was also eco-friendly, and they came with a spare pair of shoelaces and free shoe forms made from either Hemp or recycled cardboard. Either way - I'm one HAPPY CUSTOMER!
DJ NICKE
Awesome shoes and very confortable.
Enjoy your long walks with confort and style and if you want to have a conversation piece you can also use them. No one will know at first of what they are made off and everyone will find it interesting!
JOÃO ALMEIDA
The shoes are awesome and they came in a super cool and sustainable box! They are 100% waterproof which is great and they are even better in person in comparison with the photos on the website! In addition they arrived in 24 hours after I ordered them and the customer service is as efficient as it is nice! I have already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so. I hope the company continues to grow and that hemp becomes an even more accessible material for producers! Thank you!!
INÊS DELGADO MARTINS
My shoes arrived a little later than expected and because of that the CEO actually emailed me to inform me about it and apologized. I really appreciated this. When I got the kicks they looked great and were comfortable but unfortunately they were a bit small so I reached out to them and they replied quick and were super helpful to get an exchange or refund. You can tell that they really want to satisfy their customers. Overall a great experience! Would recommend.

Got my shoes today, iam so happy with them ! the plus side is the amazing sustainable packaging, very classy, even the enveloppe that contains the shoe box is made of plastic corn .... Its seams that my shoes got lost in the mail, 8000 contacted me by phone and was super eager to check my address so i could get them fast which happened 5 days later ... I was suprised by this gesture and customer service that i feel is rare nowadays ... they are confortable and beauty'full ... I love hemp for this plant will help save the planet and iam so happy to be able to participate to such a beauty'full entreprise in a world of competition, selfishness and jealousy ... so thank you to the 8000kicks team, one can feel when love is in every shred of hemp !

At first I accidently ordered the wrong size, but with the great customer service they changed it to the right size in time before shipment. Meaning I got my awesome shoes that are very comfortable to walk in, specially for long days when the foot swells. Comfortable space, comfortable cushion and comfortable wear. I enjoy them alot, and I walk a lot on hard surface. Also I live the idea of durability and less impact on the environment. I hope this project evolves as an example for others to follow.
LINN ELISE ROLVAG
Ordered the wrong size by mistake and Margarida in customer service quickly got me a return label and made sure I got the correct size. The shoes are light and soft and fit great. I wear ankle socks, so I normally need to wear higher socks to break in a new pair of shoes, but I'm surprised how good these feel right out of the box. Soft and flexible. And to top it all off, they're made of my favorite material! Lol
BRETT
Very cool shoes and concept! Customer Service responds quickly and very nice and helped very well with unusual requests!

THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
THE FOUNDING TEAM
A 77 year old and his grandson
One night, after a few beers and joints with the boys, someone came up with the idea of making a shoe for smoking. It was a 5-in-morning-kind-of-idea, or maybe not.
Bernardo, the co-founder, asked the most unlikely person for help: Otilia, his grandmother, with over 50 years’ experience in textiles. Together, they spent over 1 year actively working with suppliers from around the world until what is now the World’s 1st waterproof hemp shoe.
