Native Shoes

If you thought Crocs were a good idea, but wouldn’t dare wear them out in public, you’re going to love these! Native Shoes are like the stylish couture version!

Made from foam-injection molded EVA, Native shoes mold to your feet, and are lightweight, washable, antimicrobial, and odor resistant. They’re the same shape as your favorite sneakers, and they’re even more comfy.

Damian Van Zyll De Jong founded Native in 2009 with the help of long time friend Matthew Penner. When he first came up with the idea all he knew is that he didn’t want a conventional canvas or vulcanized shoe.

Their vision was to design lightweight, comfortable, good looking shoes out of EVA, ones that were airy, washable, and portable like sandals, with the silhouettes of the classic, casual shoes they loved, but more comfortable than either. This infectious idea came to life with the help of friends and fellow visionaries who shared their ambition for success and style.

In the end, three styles of revisited classic silhouettes would make up the sample line of the Spring 2010 collection: the Jefferson, the Corrado, the Miller.

The Jefferson defines itself as an instant classic, bold and edgy. It is the perfect mix between good taste and subtle rebellion.

Corrado offers a universal look that you can sport on a yacht or in a canoe. Its moccasin-like form combines the essence of nature with high society.

The Miller is the ultimate versatile street shoe. It functions on a casual level while still keeping your formal options open.

We love these shoes, and the mission statement that goes along with it: Life is Heavy; Keep it lite! Visit Native Shoes to order some today!
