Unpacking the Evolution of the
Fitzsimmons Boot, with CONCEPTKICKS
Innovation studio CONCEPTKICKS (@conceptkicks) joined forces with Native Shoes Co-Founder Tom Claypool and Design Lead Gabe Lam to explore the design evolution of the Fitzsimmons Venture—the latest chapter in our award-winning boot franchise.
As CONCEPTKICKS calls out, we have been “quietly pioneering a new frontier in lightweight, molded footwear. From the classic Jefferson, to the original Fitzsimmons boot, (Native Shoes) has consistently experimented at the intersection of comfort, sustainability, and design innovation.”

Built with the same ethos that defines Native Shoes—the Fitzsimmons has always been about effortless wearability with a lighter impact on the planet.
The new Fitzsimmons Venture elevates this heritage with thoughtful, future-facing details:
- Vibram Ecostep Natural outsole for trusted traction on city streets and light treks
- Water-resistant Bloom upper made with algae-based materials that restore clean water and air
- Compression EVA midsole for cloud-like cushioning
- A revamped removable bootie crafted from recycled materials that doubles as a cozy après-anything slipper
- Every element is designed for style without limits—versatile enough for everyday wear, yet engineered to go further
“The Fitzsimmons has always been about bridging city life and outdoor escapes,” says Design Lead Gabe Lam. “With the Fitzsimmons Venture, we’ve refined that vision—creating a boot that adapts to wherever curiosity takes you.”

More than a boot, the Fitzsimmons Venture is an invitation. To get outside. To explore. To move lightly, while going boldly.
