our story
Active duty owned company targeting foot strength and natural movement while supporting the long lost tradition of quality handmade American craftsmanship.
It all began on our second deployment in the Middle East when we were unable to run as much as we wanted in preparation for upcoming ultramarathons due to the extreme heat and lack of space. We needed to find an alternative to start strengthening our feet and ankles for the upcoming abuse they would inevitably endure during these long ultramarathon treks. That’s when we started to look into the footwear we were wearing on a daily basis. When we were out of our boots and running shoes, we relied on a popular rigid cork insoled sandal with high arch support. We found these sandals acted as more of a cast for our feet, preventing natural foot movement. Anyone who has ever broken a bone knows that when you put that limb into a cast it atrophies over time causing it to become weak and injury prone. This is when the idea was born: turn our sandals into a tool to strengthen our feet rather than weaken them.
