Founder and owner Josh Stiles was having back and knee pain after years of playing sports. He specifically recalled having a particularly bad softball game that threw him over the edge - and began trying all of the available footwear he could get his hands on.After searching and not finding anything that worked for him, he began to create his own sandals, and discovered that many of his chronic sports pains began to go away. Many versions later, Josh began making sandals for friends and family - sandals that you could be active in, run in. It turned out that other people were interested. As more and more changes were made to make new sandals, Josh realized that he had to get serious.Now, years later, we continue to take feedback from foot doctors, trainers, coaches, barefooters and more to constantly improve our products. The spirit of the sandals remains the same: sandals that are secure, comfortable, and allow natural movement of the foot - sandals that you can live in.
