  • The Most Green, Sustainable, Running Shoe

    by Casey on June 28, 2013

    I had just about forgotten the typical volatile organic compound (VOC) smell of a new running shoe, until Bob left a pair in our closet last night. (Why, you wonder, is Bob not wearing our new La Vida’s? Because, unfortunately, his feet are still too big for our largest La Vida size 12.) You might […]

    by Bob on June 9, 2013

    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. We aren’t complaining–and neither will […]

  • Using Olive Oil in the Factory

    by Casey on May 26, 2013

    The first and last time I tried the recommended industrial rust-inhibiting agent on the milling machine that we use to make shoe sole molds, I coughed. Living in beautiful Central Virginia, I’m just not used to breathing in toxic vapors. Furthermore, it’s not something I want anyone else getting used to. That’s one of the […]

    by Bob on May 6, 2013

    Stephan Pastis is the creative genius behind the wonderful comic strip, Pearls Before Swine.

Even better, we took a trip to see him at a bookstore in Washington, D.C. last year. Steph’s presentation was equal […]
