It's summer in the city (Raleigh, N.C., that is), and we're kickin' back at a local shop that carries comfortable, sustainable footwear made from natural rubber. Feelgoodz are made for the self-proclaimed soul traveler who values comfort and consciousness — they care about who makes the product, what they're made of and how people are treated in the process.
Founded in 2008, Feelgoodz relocated to the area in 2011 and continues to support farmers and artisan cooperatives in Thailand, Vietnam and Guatemala. Its product descriptions say things like "Made from soft 5L natural rubber. Molds to your feet," and "Podiatrist-Designed footbed with proper arch support and heel cup. Veggie-Tanned suede upper." You won't find that at any big box store! The footwear is made for all walks of life and the company is committed to bringing you 100-percent, all-natural products with n0 PVCs, toxins or artificial dyes.
The Flopz are designed to be easy to pack, casual and deconstructed (raw edges, fraying, revealed linings and unusually sewn seams; garments that appear unfinished, recycled or give the illusion that they're coming apart are the epitome of this relaxed trend). The design molds to the shape of your foot, creating a custom footbed that provides support with every step you take.
