Hemp is an ideal material for shoe making. It is one the most durable plant fibers. Hemp is also anti-microbial, temperature regulating and breathable.
Compared to cotton, hemp also requires much less water and fertilization.
Here is a list of three sneakers made with hemp :

The shoes are also waterproof and machine washable!

Rackle Hemp Shoes
Rackle Shoes — I just found this new hemp shoe.
I am a great lover of sneakers and to be honest, these sneakers look fantastic. I hope they are equally good at comfort as they are with the design.
