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 […]

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 […]

OESH Celebrity Endorser™ Kellyn Kusyk completed a magnificent freshman cross-country season at Charlottesville High School. As you can see here, this dude is trying to somehow catch up with her. Good luck with that, Fido.             Kellyn made the All-Central Virginia Cross Country Team (she is the cool kid in […]

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 […]

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 […]

One of our friends, journalist Max Lockwood of Running Insight magazine, cut to the chase by asking me a few simple questions this week: What is torque and How bad is it for the runner? To properly answer Max, I referenced the landmark study we published in 2009, when I was director of the University […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
