Are Those Shoes Made of Wood?
How would you like some nice wood paneling on your shoes? No, we're not modeling our shoes after my father's 1978 station wagon, but we do have another woody feature: cork!
Cork! Gold speckles glimmering in the light.
We recently acquired a special limited supply of decorative cork-lined fabric. This thin, smooth material is adorned with shiny gold speckles. Although we have not found it to be sturdy enough for most of our shoes, it does work very well for the flower appliques on our Merry Janes and the half-moon sides on our Dash RunAmocs. We're now happy to offer it as a design-your-own option for these features.

Our cork fabric is a very limited edition material, so once it's gone, it's gone. If you would like a shoe with this very natural looking feature, we encourage you to get it soon!
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.
