This week’s featured OESHer, Jean Lanham, started accruing OESHer street cred back in 2011, when she sent us the following glowing testimony (which you may have seen in that August’s OESH email newsletter): It’s me again.  I ordered size 8 Classic and I have not taken them off except for sleep.  I love them that […]

VIVmag offers insight, advice and authentic stories to inspire and motivate women in their quest for a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Casey was highly impressed with their request, through writer Victoria Clayton, to discuss the remarkable research published by Casey and her colleagues on the detrimental effect of traditional running shoes on (especially) our knees in […]

What is it about Julia Child that brings so much joy? Maybe it’s actually, what isn’t there about her, that brings it. Ms. Child would be 100 right now, and since this is our 100th Blog, we thought it would be great fun to celebrate her enduring spirit with a few of her mythic quotes: […]

We make OESH for real stories. And we surely don’t look for puffy pro sports types to inspire us. Instead of following some yokel clubbing little white balls in the sand, we’ve got Kellyn Kusyk, who’s been training exclusively in OESH for a year and a half. In her first high school cross-country tri-meet, running […]

You OESHers love our soft Suede Sandals! This morning we officially sold the last pair of size 10 OESH Licorice Sandals. Many Thanks to all of you who helped make this happen! As we are careful to note when one of our sizes sells out, the OESH philosophy is to create only Limited Edition quantities […]

Our OESHer of the Week this morrow, Grace Lefebure, was a star student in last year’s “OESH / University of Virginia Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Senior Design Course” where, for her senior thesis, she helped design and implement tools and processes to streamline manufacturing at OESH. As the only woman in the group, she’s easy to spot in […]

This week we’ve been on vacation with a group of friends and their families, in North Carolina. A number of us have been taking advantage of running on the nice long stretches of flat sandy beaches. And we’ve all been watching the Olympics. Which has made me reflect on my recent conversation with my friend, Bill Katovsky, […]

This week’s featured OESHer, Anne Newman, came into the factory on Monday to show us the pair of black Classics she had bought last August (that’s her husband, James, in the background): We were a little shocked to see how wrecked Anne’s OESH were until she mentioned casually that she had put “about a thousand […]

More good news on the frontier of OESH sales. Though we have been selling a ton of Sandals this summer, we officially sold the last pair of size 10 OESH Classics yesterday. Again, Many Thanks to all of you who helped make this happen! As we wrote in May when the Classic 11s sold out, […]

We do make some pretty fantastic shoes here at OESH, but lately we’ve been wanting to find out more about the fantastic people wearing them. OESHers, as Bob told me to call them, email us and come into the factory all the time with stories to tell, and we think they deserve telling. Specifically, we […]
