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.

FAQ
I am not sure which size to pick!
Every brand has their own system and sometimes even models from the same brand differ from each other. But here's how you can find your shoe size.
Select a comfortable pair of sneakers and look at the CM/JP number. That's their maximum fit in CM, therefore your feet will be smaller. Then go to the 8000Kicks table and look for a size with the same range.
Contact us for further assistance: mail@8000kicks.com +1 478 401 4950 (Phone and WhatsApp)
Your size is not on the list ?
We are always opening new sizes. Half sizes, bigger and smaller, you are gradually opening new sizes as our company grows.
What if the shoe doesn't fit? Exchanges and returns?
We want to get you in a pair that fit right, and that you love wearing. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, contact us within 60 days of receiving your 8000Kicks to arrange for a replacement, exchange, or refund. Footwear must be in new condition, with no signs of wear, and in original packaging. All returns require a return authorization from 8000Kicks Customer Service.
Free Shipping, exchanges and returns?
USA And EU
Free shipping for orders above 90$, free exchanges and returns.
UK, Europe and Canada
Reduced shipping for orders above 90$. Free exchanges and returns available soon.
Is there a warranty? Are they durable?
Unfortunately we don't have a warranty because shoes are subject to maximum wear and tear. However, from our experiences both our hmp and our soles have performed very well on our "torture" tests and we can confidently say that they are stronger than any branded sneakers in the same price range. We also tested over 10 types of different glues to find a perfect fit that would survive under the harshest conditions.
However, if for some accident or problem our shoes do not perform as expected, please contact us and we can deal with it and issue a replacement pair if necessary.
Can I smoke the shoe?
Do you really want to smoke our shoe?
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.
Can I take this on a flight? Will police dogs come after me?
8000Kicks are 100% legal everywhere in the world. Our team has traveled to Italy, France, USA, Canada, Morocco, Portugal and many other countries without any issues. Hemp is the sober cousin of marijuana, which means that it has no psychoactive components, less than 0.3% THC, definitely not a drug. In some countries it is illegal to cultivate hemp, but it is 100% legal to buy and sell finished hemp products like soap, paper and apparel as long as it is produced abroad.
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 H3mp 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.

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

Very cool shoes and concept! Customer Service responds quickly and very nice and helped very well with unusual requests!

THE FOUNDING TEAM
A 77 year old and her 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 h3mp shoe.
