Plastic Makes Perfect

Plastic Makes Perfect

Uggs were created for surfers and Crocs for spa goers, but we all know that nothing (not even style) stops a comfortable shoe from breaking out of its mold. Good news is the mold just got a lot cooler.

Vancouver-based Native Shoes are made of lightweight EVA plastic, so they’re perfect for the boat or beach, but resemble some of our favourite street shoes, making them more fashionable than their step-fathers. Similar in silhouette to lace-less Keds, Converse and Wallabees, the three styles have the added bonus of being odour resistant and antimicrobial, which means they won’t stink up your day bag.

They also do kids sizes, so your tyke can follow in your stylish footsteps.
