Abstract: A coconut fibre shoe includes a shoe sole having a foot engaging upper surface and a ground engaging lower surface. The sole consists of strands of coconut fibre held in position by a binding agent which coats the coconut fibres leaving the upper surface roughened as a result of underlying coconut fibres. Air passages extend through the shoe sole to provide air circulation to the upper surface. A waterproof coating seals the lower surface of the shoe sole. An upper foot engaging portion is secured to the shoe sole for maintaining the shoe sole on a foot.
