Hemp – Mother nature’s own miracle material

Our strive to reduce climate impact by using better materials continues. Discover Larvik – our first shoe made from hemp!

Better for the planet – better for your feet

We developed Larvik Hemp Biosole for two reasons. First and foremost, we wanted to make a shoe that reduced our oil dependency and decreased our climate footprint. In addition to that, we also wanted to produce a shoe with an extra comfortable foot climate. Our eureka moment was when we combined hemp with nubuck leather – and Larvik Hemp Biosole was born!

Hemp – Mother nature’s own miracle material

Hemp is an excellent material in many ways. It is a biomaterial that binds CO2; it grows quickly and only needs 1/3 of the water to grow, compared to cotton. In addition to that, it’s a strong and durable material, which is breathable and has natural anti-bacterial properties.

Larvik Hemp Biosole

Larvik is designed for people with an active, sustainable lifestyle. It comes with great comfort and a wide, airy toe box made to handle long hikes in everything from urban environments to forests and mountains. The combination between hemp and nubuck leather makes the shoe water-repellent and gives Larvik excellent thermoregulating properties. It cools your feet when in hot temperatures and warms them in cold weather.
