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 […]

Indeed, OESH and Casey’s handy dandy waterjet saw are featured this month in Manufacturing Net — the go-to publication for all things manufacturing. You can read the article directly on Manufacturing Net’s website here. I also transferred screen shots of the article below (click to enlarge the type).  

Many OESHers love, love, LOVE running in OESH! As the word gets around, we weren’t surprised when the major trade journal of running stores, Running Insight, asked to visit the factory and interview Casey. Writer Max Lockwood did a swell job, and you can read his effort on pages 15 and 16 of this July […]

Last weekend we took a quick jaunt to Arches National Park in Utah, near Grand Junction, Colorado, where we helped celebrate a friend’s wedding. We went for a run in the park.  Casey had a chance to put her feet up but couldn’t stop working on OESH. Here’s a picture she took of the new […]

Robin Hoffman, artist, well-known caricaturist, creator and star of the popular Charlottesville T.V. show, “A Day a Minute,” ventured over to the OESH factory for a visit.

A frequent question we respond to is How will OESH perform as a running shoe? In fact, Casey was interviewed recently by the major trade journal of the running specialty industry (more on that when the article publishes in a few weeks) on precisely this topic. Given that OESH Classics and OESH Lizards are designed […]

I wasn’t even going to go but I’m sure glad I did — my 25th reunion from Harvard Medical School. In the backdrop of my Plum Sandals are the main building and quadrangle. Back in school I was pretty much in awe of my 166 fellow classmates. Everyone was either brilliant or had done something […]

I just got my copy of the new book “Tread Lightly: Form, Footwear and the Quest for Injury-Free Running,” written by my friends, Pete Larson and Bill Katovsky over at the Natural Running Center. Knowing how much hard work Pete and Bill put into this up to date treatise of running, I was excited to […]

Remarkable OESHer Becky Mitchell has just returned to the USA after a lovely, extensive family trip to Italy. The Mitchells loved Firenze. And so did Becky’s size 8 Classics: Perhaps less well-known is that Michelangelo’s David recently enjoyed a short break to visit America after his 500+ years in Florence, taking a brief holiday from […]
