It All started with a broken flip flop
When Feelgoodz Founder, Kyle Berner, was living and traveling through Thailand, his flip flop broke while exploring a bustling market. He discovered a replacement that changed his life and sparked a mission to create natural, sustainable, artisan-crafted footwear.
A Quest for Comfort
In a quest to learn more about the most comfortable flip flops he had ever worn, Kyle discovered 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.
Today: Pioneering Sustainability
What started as a broken flip flop has evolved into a pioneering brand of sustainable lifestyle products. One step at a time, Feelgoodz continues to grow as a leader in conscious consumerism.

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.
