Native Shoes: Lightweight, Comfortable, and Sustainable Footwear
Native Shoes was founded in 2009 in Vancouver, Canada, with a simple mission: to create lightweight, comfortable, and fun footwear that appeals to all ages. The brand quickly gained recognition for its innovative use of materials and distinctive designs, particularly the iconic Jefferson slip-on that became an instant classic. From the beginning, Native focused on combining practical functionality with playful aesthetics.
Over the years, Native Shoes has evolved into a globally recognized brand known for its commitment to sustainability and innovative manufacturing processes. The company has pioneered new approaches to footwear production, including their groundbreaking Remix™ Project that focuses on recycling and repurposing old shoes. Native continues to push boundaries in eco-friendly footwear while maintaining the comfort and style that made them popular worldwide.
Easy Slip-On Design
Native's signature slip-on design makes their shoes incredibly easy to put on and take off, featuring elastic side panels and heel pulls for convenient wearing. The design eliminates the need for laces while ensuring a secure fit that stays in place during movement. This user-friendly approach makes Native Shoes perfect for people on the go, children learning to dress themselves, and anyone who values convenience without sacrificing style or comfort.
Breathable Perforated Design
Most Native styles feature strategically placed perforations that allow air to circulate freely, keeping feet cool and comfortable in warm weather. These ventilation holes are carefully designed to provide maximum airflow without compromising the shoe's structural integrity. The breathable design helps prevent moisture buildup and odor, making Native Shoes ideal for active wear and warm climates where foot comfort and dryness are essential for all-day wearability.
Comfort-Fit Insoles
Native Shoes incorporate comfortable, removable insoles that provide cushioning and support for all-day wear. The footbeds are designed to contour naturally to the shape of your foot, offering arch support and shock absorption. Many models feature anti-microbial treatments that help prevent odor and maintain freshness, ensuring your shoes stay comfortable and hygienic even after repeated use in various conditions and activities.
Flexible Outsole Technology
The outsoles of Native Shoes are engineered for optimal flexibility and traction, featuring multi-directional grip patterns that provide stability on various surfaces. The flexible construction allows natural foot movement while walking, reducing strain on feet and legs. The lightweight rubber-like compounds offer durability and slip resistance, making Native Shoes suitable for both indoor and outdoor activities while maintaining their shape and performance over time.
