Founding Story

The Feelgoodz Journey: From Adventurous Globetrotter to Sustainability Trailblazer…


A chance encounter in Thailand 

While exploring the bustling markets of Thailand, Feelgoodz Founder Kyle Berner'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. 


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.

Director of Marketing for Feelgoodz, a sustainable and eco-conscious footwear and accessories company.

Kyler Berner is the Founder and Chief Traveler for Feelgoodz. Following a backpacking trip to Thailand in 2007, Kyle was inspired to create flip flops that would be directly sourced from Thai rubber trees and assembled by local artisans.  He started Feelgoodz in 2008 in a 10x10 Shed in his parents' backyard in New Orleans. Since then, he has grown Feelgoodz into a global sustainable footwear and accessories company, partnering with traditional weavers in Punjab, India, women-led knitting villages in Nepal, rice farmers in Vietnam and natural rubber co-ops in southern Thailand.
