Thai rubber and natural dyes. It’s designed to mold to the foot, providing

About
Feelgoodz:
Feelgoodz was founded by Kyle Berner
while backpacking through Thailand. After the flip-flops he was wearing one
night broke, he began his search for a new pair. He came across a pair hanging
from an interesting display and found them to be the most comfortable pair of
shoes he had ever worn. Made from natural rubber, the flip-flops proved to be
both comfortable and sustainable. The idea of producing these particular shoes
drove him to create Feelgoodz in New Orleans in 2008. In 2012, the company
relocated to Raleigh, NC where Feelgoodz continues to support farmers and
artisan cooperatives around the world. Please visit www.feelgoodz.com for more information.
