Boots on the Beach
Did you know that Ugg boots were made popular in the 80's by Australian surfers? They are great at warming your feet after hours in the ocean. I shouldn't have been surprised to learn that the friends and children of one of our favorite customers (professional photographers Ted and Debbie) use our Soft Star Phoenix sheepskin boots when surfing.
Being raised in the Midwest, I must admit I was still surprised as I've always considered Soft Star boots for snow and slush. Surfing is still (in my mind) a cool and exotic sport - so I really enjoyed these photos and had to share - enjoy!

Trish has been an entrepreneur, marketer and maker ever since she crushed her first lemonade stand at age five. Growing up in rural Wisconsin, she spent many summers running barefoot with her sisters. These early memories later inspired her to build a brand which embraced the joy and freedom of childhood with the health and science of minimal footwear.
Trish relishes evolving the company to grow stronger and more competitive with each passing year. She is a frequent expert panelist for both e-commerce and entrepreneurship conferences. Trish enjoys spending time with her family, dogs and ducks on their property in Oregon and loves the proximity to both surf and snow. She has a background in Engineering Physics and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
