Product Care
HOW TO CARE FOR EVA SHOES:

EVA shoes can be hand-washed using lukewarm water, gentle soap and a washcloth or soft brush. Using a towel, pat excess water off and leave them to dry completely in a cool and shaded area.

Our shoes are formed using heat and so can be deformed by it as well! For these reasons, never put your EVA shoes in the washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher. Since they are heat sensitive, we also recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight when off the foot and never leaving them in the car on a hot day.

HOW TO CARE FOR NON-EVA SHOES:

Follow these steps to keep your soft-top, non-EVA shoes looking as good as new!

1. When shoe is completely dry, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush.

2. Remove the insole and set aside.

3. Quickly run lukewarm water over the outer surface of the shoe.

4. Using a cloth or soft-bristled brush with gentle soap, rub dirt off in light circular motions. Don’t scrub too hard as this can damage your shoes!

5. Rinse your shoes under lukewarm water and repeat until they are clean, and the soap is completely rinsed out.

6. Pat off excess water with a towel and set aside to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHEN A PRODUCT WILL BE RESTOCKED?

We restock our core colors about twice every season, while many of our prints and specialized colors are seasonal releases and will not be restocked. However, you’re always welcome to live-chat us or email us at customercare@nativeshoes.com with the product link, size you’re after, and country you’re located in so we can take a peek into things from our end for you!

CAN I BUY A HALF SIZE?

In an effort to make only what we need, our shoes are only carried in full sizes.

CAN I BUY A SINGLE SHOE?

Unfortunately not! We only offer pairs for purchase.

CAN I PLACE AN ORDER FOR A SHOE NOT YET IN STOCK?

We’re so happy you’re excited enough to ask! However, we do not currently offer pre-orders or the option to reserve stock in advance.

CAN I PLACE A CUSTOM DESIGN ORDER?

We do not offer custom design orders, but we’d love to hear about your ideas! Don’t hesitate to share them with us through the link here.

CAN I ORDER REPLACEMENT LACES OR INSOLES?

We do not currently offer replacement laces or insoles—but we are working on it! Stay tuned.

ARE ALL NATIVE SHOES THE SAME WIDTH?

The width of our shoes does vary between styles! Have a wider foot? Check out the Miles. Have a narrower foot? Try the Jefferson or Jericho. Still have questions? Give us a shout here.

ARE NATIVE SHOES NON-SLIP?

Our shoes are not certified non-slip. Please adventure safely!

WHAT IS EVA?

EVA is the shorthand for ethylene-vinyl acetate. This material naturally molds to your feet, giving each step a cool and cushy feeling. Our EVA shoes are lightweight, shock absorbent and, hand-washable using lukewarm water and gentle soap. Added bonus – they're naturally odor-resistant thanks to their closed-cell surface that keeps smelly bacteria from hanging on.

DO NATIVE SHOES CONTAIN ANY HARMFUL INGREDIENTS?

We’re so proud to say our shoes are REACH, CPSIA, and Prop 65 compliant. They are also BPA and phthalate free, and don’t contain hazardous materials such as formaldehyde or formamide.

About Us
WHERE DOES THE NAME NATIVE SHOES COME FROM?

Native Shoes was named out of love for our community and the place we call home. We are not an Indigenous-led company, and we honor that the brand was founded and is currently headquartered on the stolen territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. We are aware that the positive intent with which our brand was named over a decade ago may not always reflect the impact of our brand identity today. We are currently reflecting on who we are as a brand, working with an Indigenous consultant to facilitate open and honest conversations with the Indigenous community around our brand identity and impact. We also have forged partnerships with a number of incredible Indigenous-led organizations working to create positive impact, reconciliation and youth opportunities here in Vancouver and further afield. We're excited to work with some amazing changemakers and Tiny Activists, and look forward to sharing our learnings and progress as we work to create lasting and meaningful change.

WHERE ARE NATIVE SHOES MADE?

We are currently working with factories in China and Vietnam to produce all the shoes in our collection. We pride ourselves in our factory conditions and have stringent ethical practices in place, including the prohibition of forced labor, regulation of wages, and monitoring of working hours. We have great relationships with our teams on the ground and make several trips a year to develop new products and ensure proper conditions are being maintained.

WHAT IS ANIMAL FREE?

Animal Free has been an integral part of our DNA since day one. Not a single hair nor hide on any animal, anywhere, has been used in the creation of our product. We are proud of that and have been awarded the PETA Approved Vegan certification. Animal Free means respecting our animal and human friends equally.

ARE NATIVE SHOES RECYCLABLE?

Yes! We are currently accepting worn out Native Shoes for recycling as part of The Native Shoes Remix™ Project. You can read all about that and our recycling options process here.

Sizing Guide
How do I know my size? What do the M and W mean?

All our shoes are unisex and you will see that they are offered in both men’s and women’s sizing. The “M” indicates a men’s size while the “W” indicates a women’s size. For example, 6M8W would mean the shoe is a men’s 6, which is equivalent to a women’s 8!

What about C and J sizes?

We have split our children’s shoes into two categories, Child and Junior, and use C and J for shorthand! For example, “C7” means Child Size 7 and “J4” means Junior Size 4, which equates to a men’s size 4 as well.
