What's in them
Three natural materials. Nothing that doesn't need to be there.
Transparent Markups
From the outset we've been driven by a belief that simple, naturally derived products should be available at democratic, rather than exclusive prices.
By eschewing the traditional retail pricing model and partnering directly with our factory, we're able to reduce overinflated margins, reducing the total cost to our customers.
Our Partners
We work directly with our production partner in Dongguan, China, visiting quarterly to work alongside them sourcing, developing, testing and fine tuning each product we release.
Run by a mixed team comprising New Zealanders, British and Chinese, the best of both Western and Eastern values are present in the workplace culture.
Most importantly, a commitment to ethical manufacturing is reflected throughout the workplace. All workers are paid a living wage, and are provided multiple benefits including health insurance, a pension, on-site accommodation, and access to English lessons.
Naturally Sourced
In an effort to reduce the long term impact of the products we create, we go to great lengths to limit our use of synthetic materials to the bare minimum.
The uppers of these sneakers are made from a beautifully textured organic hemp canvas, while the sidewall foxing and outsole are natural rubber latex from the Hevea Brasiliensis, tapped and collected by hand.
For cushioning we use Ortholite Eco® insoles derived from renewable castor oil rather than petroleum based, covered with a naturally sustainable cork veneer that helps wick moisture away from the feet.

Really comfy and I like how they included black laces too. Lovely informative customer service, answered all my questions and felt great not only supporting the environment but an NZ company too. Already eyeing up another pair to buy.
M
They are light and instantly comfortable so I wore them all weekend. I love the style and colours and had so many compliments. The fact they are an ethical NZ brand makes me love them all the more.
C
I love these shoes - the cork makes it superbly comfortable and although initially a little firm, the canvas did stretch out a little with each wear.
Pleased to have found these! Impressed with the recycling process for old Collective Camvas shoes sent back to the company!
Thank you Oscar and team.

Looper Hemp Black/White Stitch. My third pair of cavas collective shoes and I love them all.
S
A perfect fit and comfortable from the first wearing, look great too. Definitely recommended.
S
Overall a pretty good sneaker. They broke in quickly and construction seems to be a decent quality. The soles are grippy and don't hold dirt which is nice. Only gripe is the "cork" insoles are like 0.5mm of cork over foam, wore through the cork within 2 days. This particular style has a lace to toe which has kept the shoe fairly stiff over the toes so not ideal to wear without socks.
J
Such amazing shoes, love the colour and comfort is next level. Just trying to decide what colour to get next.
K
I have difficult feet, chubby, wide and a high instep. This was my second pair of Hemp shoes, I have brown and now blue. I love the colours, comfort and sustainability of these shoes.
M
These are the comfiest shoes I've ever bought. Really happy with my purchase. true to size and they mould to your feet quickly. I am definately going to buy some of the other styles to add to my wardrobe!

Creat quality materials, very comfortable to wear
J
So comfortable on first wear and excellent colour for all outfits. Was delighted to find the extra shoelaces tucked into the box. Looking forward to enjoying these this summer!
S
These shoes were exactly what i wanted and I am so thrilled with them - the right colour the fit and the style PERFECT
P
Love the colour, really comfortable so far and lightweight.
Eyeing up another pair in diff colour

I’ve had the opportunity to wear this pair for a few weeks now, and I’m overall very satisfied with my purchase.
The pros:
-Sleek and stylish design that stands out compared to more common brands.
-Quality materials and finish.
-Light, flexible, comfortable and breathable.
-The insole flexes and absorbs shocks, it’s a really nice touch.
Cons:
-Depending on your feet volume, the shoelaces might be a bit too long. I would prefer if they were a few centimeters shorter so that they don’t touch the ground after I tie them.
-If you’re having your shoes delivered outside of New Zealand, keep in mind that you might have to pay for customs when you receive them. Some companies include that cost in their total price, and it would have been good to know beforehand that it wouldn’t be the case here.
With that being said, I highly recommend this product and look forward to buying more pairs/models.

Great Quality and Comfort

Stoked with the pair. Super lightweight and they look really good!

Love the style and so comfy.
I have been wearing Collective Canvas shoes for a few years now, love them!
C
Loving my new sneakers...comfortable from the first moment I put them on...wasn't sure about the cork inner but its fantastic, so soft. Will definitely be buying a second pair..the only problem I have is which pair to choose...so many gorgeous colour ways and styles.
D
This is my second pair of collective canvas shoes and I love them. They were comfortable from the first wear.
T
I got a pair of these shoes wanting to try something more planet sustainable and wanted to put my money away from overseas cheap slave labour and big corporations.
These shoes really impressed me for the price and they make great comfortable shoes to wear throughout the day.
Highly recommended.
M
The shoes look fabulous and feel comfortable. I have tried other options in biodegradable shoes and been disappointed, so I'm stoked to have these work for me.
D
Great shoes. Very comfortable. Lovely to wear. Thank you 😊

I'm usually a 38, and this fit is right for me, but my feet are narrow. If I had wider feet I'd look at a different style and or size up.
So happy with my purchase though. I spend a lot of my day on my feet, and these things are very comfy! Canvas means they're already soft, no new-shoes discomfort here! Won't be long before I'm eyeing up another pair!
S
These sneakers are super comfy, and the black/cream is sharp. I think they might be slightly more narrow than the other models and also less structured. The raw edge stripe could be revised, the fraying looks ratty after a few wears.

The Looper hemp is my first pair from Collective Canvas and I'm super happy. I was looking for a light sneaker for summer that would stand up to garden wear, accommodate my wide feet and also look good for everyday wear. The Looper Hemp delivers! It's light and cool, with lots of room for my toes (priority for me). I wear them around the garden when I'm not in work boots and find they're sturdy and easy to clean. Also look cool for work and go with just about everything. Found them to be true to size and measurements on the website are a true guide. Very happy.
T
Love the new colour way. Super comfy have 4 different shoes from CC now. Would love a 9.5 as the 10 is a fraction big and 9 a fraction small.
But huge fan 10/10 🤝
T
Love these shoes! On my second pair, absolutely thrashed the first and will definitely be getting a third. It’s hard to find good sneakers that have good morals, stoked to have them on my feet.

In time for Christmas as a gift ( really thought I'd missed the boat!)
My husband put them on and wore them all day Christmas Day- compliments from everyone and unbelievably comfortable he said.
Converted a few more to Collective Canvas along the way!
