It All Started with
a Broken Flip-Flop

While exploring the bustling markets of Thailand, Kyle's journey took a wild turn when his flip-flop broke.
He discovered a replacement that changed his life - and sparked a mission to create natural, sustainable, artisan-crafted footwear.

A Quest for Comfort

Kyle needed to find the source of the most comfortable flip-flops he had ever worn. His quest led him to a Thai rubber farm, where a transformative partnership called The Artisan Project took root.

From Backpacker
to Backyard CEO

With a backpack stuffed full of flip-flops, Kyle returned home, determined to share his discovery with the world. He sold the first collection of flip-flops out of a shed he constructed in his parents’ backyard in New Orleans. From those humble beginnings, Feelgoodz was born.

Feelgoodz Artisan Project

Feelgoodz grew from a chance encounter with a rubber farming family in Thailand over 10 years ago. We were smitten with their story, hospitality, and friendship. Today we work with traditional weavers in Punjab, India, women-led knitting villages in Nepal, rice farmers in Vietnam and natural rubber co-ops in southern Thailand.

Remix:  Our Zero Waste Flip-Flop

We upcycled the leftover rubber scraps from our solid natural rubber flip-flops and mixed them into bold new colors. No two pairs are the same so they're truly one of a kind! The same Feelgoodz comfort that you know and love, remixed & recrafted.
