Footwear is a different sport.
Footwear is a different sport.Intro paragraph:You've built the brand, the audience, the reputation. Footwear is a separate discipline — and the fastest place for a great brand to lose money and credibility. Lasts, fit, tooling, materials, factory minimums, wear testing: these are decisions apparel and gear teams have never had to make. We've made them at the highest level for nearly forty years, and built product for brands like Huk and Chéne Gear. Same senior hands, working directly on your project — no system to fit into.

What We Do
Concept & Design
We turn a brand and a use-case into a buildable footwear concept — not just a pretty render.
Prototyping & Sampling
Real samples, iterated fast, so you decide on product you can hold, wear, and test.
Last & Fit
The foundation of every good shoe. Fit and grading tuned to your customer's foot and how they actually use it.
Wear Testing
Field and lab testing for the marsh, the flats, and the trail. We prove it before it ships with your name on it.
Materials & Construction
Materials and construction — including sustainable options — specified to hit performance, cost, and durability.
Sourcing, Manufacturing & QC
The right factory (US or overseas), managed production, and quality held through delivery.
“We don’t want you to have to fit into some system. We answer the questions before they’re asked. That’s what makes us different.”
Start a project.
We take on a limited number of projects and scope each one to fit. Tell us what you're building — the brand, the category, and where you are — and we'll set up a call.
