Below is our presenting team; Bill Hill, Brad Bennett, and me. Our first Power Point slide was that of our research team (or at least a portion of our team) in the OESH Factory.

…and make OESH Shoes even more awesome (if that were even possible). What makes OESH unique is that everything we do is driven by medical and biomechanical research.

Our summer intern, Jayme Kusyk, also known as our oldest daughter, is about a month in to being a freshman (or “Fresher” as they say “up there”) at Oxford in England. She’s majoring in English (or as they say, “reading” English). She’s always loved English and turned down admissions to Yale and Brown because, as she […]
Continue ReadingHigh heel shoes: the new fashion faux pas
This just in from the Wall Street Journal Fashion Section: high-heeled shoes appear to be very yesterday, and flats are in.
