Oregon Preschoolers See Elves at Work
We had a special treat yesterday when students and parents from the local LBCC Co-op Preschool came by our workshop for a tour. The little kiddies were very excited to see all the colors of our shoes, and Elf Sarah gave them a personal tour to show them how our shoes are made.
The whole class met all the elves in our shop, asked lots of questions about our tools and had a lot of fun feeling all the different textures and colors of leather in the shop. At the end of the trip, the group gathered together in our showroom for stories about elves making shoes.
Elf Sarah meets the class and shows them what we make.
Elf Keoni shows step-by-step how he sews shoes.
The field trip ended with storytime in our showroom!
We received this thank-you card/poster the next day!
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.
