From Some of the Biggest Brands in Eco-Friendly Shoes, 8000Kicks has it All
For millennia, hemp has been used as a fiber. It was utilized by the ancient Egyptians to create rope, fabrics, fine linen, and sails. Before it was outlawed in the 1970s, hemp, a naturally resilient material, was widely used in textiles and shoes. The top Eco-Friendly Shoe Brands are 8000Kicks, and we continue to advance.
Hemp is a type of cannabis Sativa that is grown specifically for its industrial uses. It is known for being extremely durable and strong, making it ideal for many different applications. Its fibers have been used for thousands of years, and today it continues to be used for clothing, paper, food, fuel, and even plastics.
Not all hemp footwear is water-resistant. Shoes from 8000Kicks are waterproof because that is how they were designed. The hemp fabric's outer layer features a waterproof barrier and a bio wax coating that resist liquids and prevent them from entering the fabric.
Depending on how the shoe is made and the sort of fibers used, each hemp shoe needs to be cleaned differently. Because the premium hemp used to make our shoes is so high-quality, we suggest washing them dry with warm water, soap, and a kitchen scrape. As machine washing can harm the shoes' capacity to repel water, we do not advise it.
Hemp is the sober relative of marijuana because it has less than 0.3% THC, which means that, theoretically, you are not getting high. It also has no psychoactive components. Please take note that smoking the shoe is not advised and may result in hospitalization.
