Get excited for one of our biggest giveaways ever—we're going electric!
2021 was another one for the record books, but we made it, and we made it in style. Right now the paths for biking in minimal shoes near our Oregon headquarters are cold and wet, but we're dreaming of spring and dreaming of coasting on two wheels!
This is where you come in. To celebrate the new year, and new beginnings, we're teaming up with Rad Power Bikes and Timbuk2 to bring you a game-changing combo: the Rad Mission 1 e-bike, paired with a customizable Classic Messenger Bag! And of course we're going to equip you with foot-friendly Softstar shoes.
This prize package, worth over $1,500, will go out to one lucky winner after the giveaway ends on January 17th.
- RadMission 1 Electric Bicycle ($1000)
- Timbuk2 Custom Classic Messenger Bag ($150)
- Softstar Gift Card ($350)

Timbuk2 Messenger Bag
Design your own Timbuk2 custom classic messenger bag by choosing your style, size, fabric, colors, features & more!
Designed in San Francisco with decades of user testing and consumer feedback in mind, TIMBUK2's updated Custom Laptop Messenger features an updated fit, smarter organization, and improved laptop protection. Just like our customizable shoes, you can tweak the design to suit your needs!
The shoulder strap features an optional curved air-mesh strap pad for increased comfort, finer webbing, and Timbuk2’s new Double-Loop CAM buckle that adjusts quickly and eliminates dangling straps. An optional grab strap makes the messenger easier to grab and go, and SR buckles are partially concealed behind the messenger flap for a more refined but just as secure closure.
Softstar Gift Card
Keep your feet happy and healthy in the new year with a $350 Softstar gift card. Trying to decide which Softstars are best for biking in minimal shoes? Here are some top picks:
Breathable and lightweight, our Quick Dry Dash RunAmoc is a great choice for biking. It's our only Dash model featuring a rubber toe cap protecting the front of the shoe. It also has a zero drop 5mm Vibram Lightning rubber sole, a great choice for haptic feedback without making pedals too hard on your feet.
Our Primal RunAmoc is a good alternative to the Dash if you prefer a wider toe box. Be aware the width may not be compatible with all pedal straps. All Primal RunAmocs are made with bike tubes for the toe cap. If you customize yours, the Lightning (5mm Vibram Rubber) sole is great for biking in minimal shoes.

Beware of Fraud
Sadly, we live in a world where fraudulent social media profiles (especially from Instagram) have impersonated Softstar in an attempt to scam our fans by claiming they must use a link to enter credit card/payment info to redeem giveaway prizes. We do our best to report and shut down impersonator profiles when we find them, but if you receive a notice that you won one of our giveaways then please follow these tips to ensure your security:
- This giveaway does not end until midnight on January 17, 2022. No winner will be selected until after that date. If you are told you won before this date then the message is fraudulent.
- We will not require any additional registration or credit card/payment information from the winner. We will only ask for a shipping address for delivery of the prizes.
- The winner will be notified by email, not by social media, and the message will come from an address with a domain of either @softstar.com or @softstarshoes.com. Messages from any other address domain are not from us.
- The winner's first name will be posted on this page after the contest ends. If you are notified that you won then you can check back here to verify that your first name is displayed.
