The Story of Kris Kelly, Founder of HYKES

Story of How HYKES Started

"It has always been my dream to provide shoes that truly make a difference in people's lives while simultaneously helping those in need. With HYKES, this dream has become a reality. Thank you for being a part of this journey."

Kris Kelly has always had a passion for helping others. From a young age, he dreamed of making a positive impact on the world. As he grew older, he ventured into the world of online e-commerce, searching for a way to turn his dream into reality. However, the journey was not without its challenges. He became disillusioned with the industry, where profit often took precedence over people.

Kris noticed a recurring theme: companies were more focused on selling shoes to make a profit rather than truly helping their customers. He wanted to create something different, something that could genuinely make a difference in people’s lives. But finding a way to achieve this seemed almost impossible. How could he build a business that not only provided value to its customers but also helped those in need?

One day, Kris stumbled upon the concept of barefoot shoes. He learned about the numerous benefits of barefoot footwear, from improving posture and reducing back pain to alleviating foot problems and headaches caused by traditional shoes. The more he researched, the more he realized the profound impact barefoot shoes could have on people's lives.

This was his "aha" moment. Kris saw an opportunity to create a product that could genuinely help others. He envisioned a brand that would not only offer high-quality barefoot shoes but also make a tangible difference in the world. This was the moment HYKES was born.

With HYKES, Kris set out to bring people shoes that allow their feet to move naturally, just as nature intended. He believed that everyone deserves to experience the comfort and health benefits of barefoot shoes. But he didn't stop there. He also wanted to give back to the community. For every pair of HYKES shoes sold, Kris committed to donating a pair to a child in need. It was a win-win situation: customers could enjoy the benefits of barefoot shoes, and children in need would receive much-needed footwear.

Kris Kelly's journey from a passionate dreamer to the founder of HYKES is a testament to his unwavering commitment to helping others. Through HYKES, he has created a brand that stands for more than just footwear; it stands for a movement towards better foot health and a brighter future for children in need.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can step into a healthier, more comfortable future, one pair of shoes at a time.
