We are currently working with factories in China and Vietnam to produce all the shoes in our collection. We pride ourselves in our factory conditions and have stringent ethical practices in place, including the prohibition of forced labor, regulation of wages, and monitoring of working hours. We have great relationships with our teams on the ground and make several trips a year to develop new products and ensure proper conditions are being maintained.

Yes! We are currently accepting worn out Native Shoes for recycling as part of The Native Shoes Remix™ Project. You can read all about that and our recycling options process here. We are currently sourcing a new partner for the Native Shoes Remix™ project in the United States. Please reach out to Customer Care to support you in the meantime.

EVA is the shorthand for ethylene-vinyl acetate. This material naturally molds to your feet, giving each step a cool and cushy feeling. Our EVA shoes are lightweight, shock absorbent and, hand-washable using lukewarm water and gentle soap. Added bonus – they're naturally odor-resistant thanks to their closed-cell surface that keeps smelly bacteria from hanging on.

We’re so proud to say our shoes are REACH, CPSIA, and Prop 65 compliant. They are also BPA and phthalate free, and don’t contain hazardous materials such as formaldehyde or formamide.

Our shoes are not certified non-slip. Please adventure safely!
