Wicked Hemp uses Hemp on 80% of all Footwear with other Eco material, such as Recycled PVC, Vegan Nubuck . Hemp (Cannabis Sativa) has been grown for thousands of years all over the world for textiles, fabrics, paper, fiber, medicine, oils and fuels. The reason for this is that Hemp is a rapidly renewable resource that can be grown in different climates and soils. Hemp does not require pesticides or fertilizers to grow.  It is one of the strongest natural fibers, naturally resistant to mold, mildew, salt water and UV light.
