GIVEAWAY: Win a Free Pair of Very Unique Merry Mocs!
Followers of our blog will know that we hold occasional Playdays at the Soft Star workshop. These are days when we set work aside and are encouraged to just have fun creating something new with the materials in our shop. At the end of the day we share our projects and the results are always surprising. They not only inspire new product ideas and teach us ways to improve our shoemaking process, but they also make our workplace fun!
We keep our Playday projects in the shop, and after looking through them we decided they deserve more love than collecting dust on a shelf will give them. That's why we're now giving away two pairs of VERY UNIQUE shoes to a couple lucky fans. These are extremely limited edition designs that you won't find again.
In our September 2012 Playday, elves Tesla and Jodi joined forces to create an ultra-comfy Merry Moc. This shoe combined the upper design of our Merry Janes with a soft Roo moccasin sole—complete with our cozy sheepskin innersole.
Their first pair was made with our star-patterned leather, featuring cream suede decorated with shiny gold stars. A Velcro closure keeps the strap secure:
The two talented elves worked so quickly, they had time to make a second pair with suede moss uppers. For this green pair, they experimented by gluing our 2mm RunAmoc Street sole onto the bottom of it. This gives the green pair more durability for outdoor use, but still with the cozy sheepskin innersole:
Each of these pairs was made in size 6U only (Women's size 6.5–7). If this happens to be your size, or the size of someone you love, then you're in luck because we're giving them both away!
We're starting with the cream/star pair. If you'd like a chance to own these shoes then please enter the raffle below. The winner will be randomly selected next week. After that we'll post a raffle for the green pair, so you'll have two chances to win!
Good luck!
These shoes are new with no visible flaws, but please remember that they were created as a fun experiment. They have not undergone our testing and development process so we make no guarantees about their performance, although they are embedded with a high dose of elf mojo.
Martin is a lifelong runner who began wearing minimalist shoes over 10 years ago when he found they alleviated his chronic foot pain, which eventually disappeared completely. He further studied proper running form through a series of workshops taught by Correct Toes inventor, Dr. Ray McClanahan DPM. Martin has collaborated with several health care professionals to collect and share peer-reviewed studies that show the benefits of minimalist footwear. In his personal life, Martin loves living in the Pacific Northwest because it allows him to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities year-round, including hiking, cycling, rock climbing, surfing and snowboarding.
You should make fun more often, lol!
