Hemp Hype Fell Flat for Me
I'll start by saying I'm all about sustainable living and reducing my carbon footprint, which is why I was initially stoked to discover 8000Kicks and their mission to bring industrial hemp back into the mainstream. Their story, which began in 2019, and commitment to promoting the benefits of hemp, such as its anti-bacterial properties and low water requirements, really resonated with me. However, my experience with their products, particularly the Trekker sneaker, was a letdown. The shoes looked sleek and the concept was intriguing - a waterproof sneaker made from sturdy hemp fibers that's not only sustainable but also stylish and comfortable. But, the reality didn't live up to the hype. First off, the sizing was off. I ordered my usual size, but the shoes felt too tight and constricted. The material, while durable and made from 100% hemp, felt stiff and lacked the comfort I've come to expect from my daily wear shoes. I was expecting unseen comfort for any weather condition, but what I got was blisters and discomfort. Maybe it's because I'm not used to wearing hemp shoes, but the break-in period was painfully long. The Trekker sneaker, which I thought would be perfect for daily wear, turned out to be more of a chore to wear than a pleasure. On top of that, the 'sophisticated look' they advertised didn't quite translate in person. The design was bland and lacked the stylish edge I was hoping for. I mean, I've seen more fashionable shoes at a thrift store. Now, I get it. Hemp is a great material and all, but if it doesn't deliver on comfort and style, then what's the point? I'm all for supporting companies that prioritize sustainability and the environment, and I appreciate 8000Kicks' commitment to educating consumers about the benefits of hemp and promoting its use in various applications. But, as a customer, I expect a certain level of quality and performance from the products I buy. Unfortunately, 8000Kicks fell short of my expectations. Maybe they'll take this as feedback and work on improving their products, because, as it stands, I won't be recommending them to my friends or family. 2/5 stars from me, and that's being generous.
