You Will Flip Over These Flip Flops
Want your conscience to feel as good as your feet? Then you must try a pair of Feelgoodz. Their 100% rubber flip-flops are made with materials from Thailand–a country with a close tie to perpetual flip-flop-wearing founder Kyle Berner’s soul … and soles for that matter (more on that in just a bit).
These casual flops have a classic, beach bum design, and are “curiously comfortable,” the sandals mold to the shape of your feet after a few wears.
But let’s take a moment to explain the heartstrings to Thailand, shall we? After a handful of random stints as a record producer, cubed-in sales person and hotdog vendor, Berner found himself teaching English in a small Thai town, where he discovered the locals’ love of laid back rubber thong sandals.
When Feelgoodz was born, Berner vowed to give back to the locale that so deeply impacted his life in the only way he knew how–through his favorite style of shoe.
The company prides itself on having a small carbon footprint, the rubber biodegrades after 4 to 5 years, unlike the typical foam you’ll find in most flip-flops.
Berner created an eco-conscious brand that also promotes positive social change. Feelgoodz donates a portion of sales to Pencils of Promise, an organization devoted to building schools in developing nations, like Berner’s beloved Thailand.
Comfortable, go-with-everything footwear that has heart and sole, uh soul?
That sure does leave us, well … feeling goodz.
