Hemp sneaker that's both vegan and sweatshop-free!

All these shoes are 100% union made in Indonesia.

Our first eco-sneak is finally here! Introducing the premier sneaker in our collection that is 100% vegan, sweat-shop free and now environmentally-friendly as well. The 100% hemp upper of this sneaker was organically grown, then thoroughly washed to give it a smooth and bright look and feel. Now your feet can feel really good without stepping on the worker or the plant that made your shoes!

Also available in Child & Petite Sizes!

See our Store Locations page for a list of retail outlets that currently carry No Sweat’s sneaker line.
Click here for info on Wages and Benefits of the workers that produce these shoes.

I own these. I bought from the site before I found a store has them in stock locally. I recomend them to anybody.

1. Thier shoes rock
I have a pair of the black cotton low tops and the code pink hightops, but when I need new shoes I'll definitely get some of the hemp ones.

2. How's the sizing?
As a fella, did you find the sizing to be fairly in line with the norm?

Cuz I gotta have a pair of these:


Also, did anyone else notice that the models on that site, particularly the female ones, are fine as all get out? Maybe it's just me.

3. I wear a US size 13

The EU 12 fits perfect, just like the chart says.

I bought several pairs of socks in different styles that are all union made in the USA. I'm happy with everything I have bought from them!
