Only one size in the Licorice option of the beautiful Suede Sandals remains available after we saw our last two size 9s go into their respective shipping cartons last week. And for that remaining size 11, we only have a few pairs in stock–so you’d better snag them here if you’ve been thinking they’d look […]

One hates to disrupt the beautiful post describing the meeting of Yellowstone & La Vida, but duty calls. We are now holding only two sizes of the original Classic and Lizard shoes in our inventory, the Lizard 8 and Lizard 9.5. Thankfully, the response to the La Vida has been unprecedented for us. Business, you […]

In central Virginia at this time of the year, we see plenty of lizards scurrying about. And it certainly defines the way our business demand is flowing–the movement of Lizards, that is. With a one-two punch, we recently saw the final pairs of our Lizard 8.5s and 9s go onto the feet of some very […]

Hmmm…a funny thing is happening as we are still filling out the backlog of orders on the brand new OESH La Vidas The demand for remaining OESH Lizards remains stellar. We now say “adios” to a great friend, with the purchase of the final Lizard 7 going to OESHer Eileen in Virginia. Thanks so much, […]

We have had very strong expectations for the launch of our new La Vida style–currently available in this beautiful white sand model:         But even as optimistic as we knew we should be, the demand in our first week was somewhere above triple our “best case” estimate.

Stephan Pastis is the creative genius behind the wonderful comic strip, Pearls Before Swine. A loyal UC Berkeley grad, Pastis has delighted all members of our family for many years with his anthropomorphic genius. Even better, we took a trip to see him at a bookstore in Washington, D.C. last year. Steph’s presentation was equal […]

Congratulations OESHers, you now wear every single pair of Classics, the original OESH shoe!             That “whooshing” sound you hear is the breeze now circulating through the factory shelves, awaiting the imminent NEW OESH!!! Stay tuned, as these will be announced shortly–and we can hardly wait to show them to […]

America’s ultimate hiking path east of the mighty Mississippi is the extraordinary Appalachian Trail. The “A.T.” was conceptualized by Benton MacKaye in the October 1921 publication of “An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning” in the Journal of the American Institute of Architects. Ultimately it was the leadership of Myron Avery which enabled the […]
