I’ve been wearing my Fiji La Vida v2.0 for quite a while now (and running regularly in them, since the end of my high school lacrosse season at the very least), and I’ve noticed a phenomenon which you may have identified as well: the soles of my La Vida have worn down ever so slightly. The surface of each […]

What do you do on an uneventful Saturday morning in the last June before you go to college? You and your La Vidas v2.0 recruit a friend, get in the car, and drive the forty minutes from Charlottesville to Yogaville. Yogaville is located just outside Scottsville (we Virginians do love our ‘ville’s, don’t we?). This […]

The race was called the Rock N’ Roll Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. where we ran by the White House, Capital Building, Washington Monument, and much more.

It’s kind of funny to think that with all the high tech computer-controlled machines in the factory, we’ve been hand mixing the critical ingredients of our OESH® Sole.

So here’s a cool thing I’ve learned working at OESH.
