Adidas HempWhen Adidas came out with these hemp shoes a few years back, they were given grief about it by the federal government and chose to rename them from “Superstar Hemp” to “Gazelle Natural”.

Regardless of the politics, hemp is a very durable and “breathes” very well as a shoe material. The soles are made out of recycled rubber — making them metaefficient and completely biodegradable.

These shoes are now available in stores, see Overstock or this page.

Also available is the “Supermodified” hemp shoe:

    Why did Adidas make the Hemp shoe limited? That’s so dumb. I’d love a pair of the Superstar II Hemp black/white but they’re impossible to find.

    MBT shoes (Masai Barefoot Technology) was born in 1996 when we discovered that natural instability has some amazing health benefits. We made this discovery by observing the wonderfully agile Masai people walking barefoot on natural, uneven ground. Seeing these people in action made us realize that the human body is simply not designed to walk or stand on the hard, flat surfaces of modern society. So we set out to develop a new kind of footwear, one that would mimic walking on soft, uneven ground. The results have been dramatic and revolutionary. MBTs are now sold in more than 35 countries around the world and enthusiastic users testify that wearing MBTs noticeably increase their well-being.mbt shoes salembt outletmbt sneakers
